angelo7 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I'll try to replicate the Pete from the Truck Um Up posters from the seventies (California Dreamin). Got the decal set already. I'll use the tow bed for a future project. This kit includes a 36" sleeper. Edited June 12, 2016 by angelo7
Petetrucker07 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 That is a good lookin truck Angel. Lookin forward to seeing this progress along.
Old Buckaroo Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Excellent pick and the perfect kit to pull it off.Those posters were the best !
gino Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 wow I remember those ! I had every one of them in my room !my favorite was the freightliner coe "mission control" with that Wichita paint scheme !this will be a great build, will be watching !
Superpeterbilt Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Excellent choice Angel. Thats a nice rig. Will you swap in some modern Alcoas to pull off the look of the poster truck?
angelo7 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Will you swap in some modern Alcoas to pull off the look of the poster truck? Actually I was just looking in my parts box for the more modern front wheels. I only found the ones from the Snap kits which are the same as in the poster but more cheap looking also. So if anybody has two of them extra, let me know. A little progress here. Just opened the box.
Superpeterbilt Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I might have some Revell rims in my stash.
Petetrucker07 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I've got 3 or 4 complete sets from the snappers. Edited January 22, 2016 by Petetrucker07
Mopar - D Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 This will be a very sharp looking rig. Looking forward to your progress.
GearUpJammer Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Great choice Angel,I had those posters too!
angelo7 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Posted February 21, 2016 Clayton Monthly report. Not a lot of progress here but just to show I'm still on the race. Ordered a second decal sheet cause the first one were too dark.
angelo7 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 Monthly report. Slow progress but I'll be done on time. Battery box courtesy of Tom Decker (redneckrigger). Thank you Tom!
redneckrigger Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Hey, Angel, no problem, happy to help! Looking good!
Canso65 Posted March 16, 2016 Posted March 16, 2016 You're off to a good start Angel.I'm looking forward to seeing more.Rob
angelo7 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Posted April 11, 2016 Monthly report. All parts that will have same color are assembled and readied for paint.
gatorincebu Posted April 12, 2016 Posted April 12, 2016 Angel, Looking forward to seeing some paint on all those parts ! Be Well Gator
angelo7 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Monthly report. Started painting today. The brown part should be more like a gold color but I want to match the decals which turned out brown. Edited May 3, 2016 by angelo7
