Pete Dump Truck

[extmcdriver]

Hey Guys,

My latest project on my work bench. I attempting to make a Pete dump truck replicating a local dump company. Changes to the base AMT Pete 359 Kit include; Cat engine from the Revell snap kit, suspension from the parts box, front floats from the Revell Pete Wrecker, dump box from the Paystar kit, as well as rear tires from KJ which are fantastic. Still have a long way to go, thanks for viewing!!!!

Thanks guys for the comments, to answer the questions; the tires are from KJ at Double Take Replicas. I love the way the tires look and feel, they are rubber, not resin!!! The color for the cab is the same as the frame, the hood has the same base color with purple and orange almost horizontal stripes. I know this sounds crazy!!! There is a local dump truck company that sports those colors. I will update when I get close to the finish line.
