TAT 2017 Pete 359/condo

[cowboy rich]

Well here's what I'm gonna play along with.

sorry pics are bad

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Cool project!! Is the condo a kit or all scratch built?

[cowboy rich]

Thanks Brian, the sleeper is scratch built 102" X 144"

[Mopar - D]

Richard any ideas on the colors yet. Looks like a nice build. 

[cowboy rich]

Don't really have the color(s) figured out yet, even though I've been thinking about it since Tom brought this up. What I do have figured is the interior will be fairly neutral with doll house wall paper on the sleeper walls, an oil finish on the furnishings and CAT yellow under the hood really need to look for some close pics of the engine as I'd like to try detailing further than my norm. and thinking about trying to find some pics to try and scratch up a 3 speed box and make a twin stick out of this.

What I'm trying for is a kind of husband and wife team driven truck of the late '80 - '90s era that has been dressed up for both form and function. So for the outside I'm open to ideas.

Condo? Looks more like a mansion. 

[cowboy rich]

Ok folks I need a little help. I'm trying to detail this 3408 but can't figure out where the fuel line to and from  the injection pump should go? Pic 1 is Ken Smiths write up 2 & 3 is where I'm wondering if it goes. Unfortunately I don't have a 3408 at my disposal.(want to however).

Thanks for any help.
