JARRNO88 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 HI EVERYONE, I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A WHILE BUT I FINNALY FINISHED THE FIRST MODEL I HAVE BUILT SINCE SOMETIME IN THE 70"S. THE ONLY WAY I EVER BUILT ANYTHING BEFORE THIS PETE WAS BY PULLING THE PARTS RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX AND GLUING THEM TOGETHER. THANKS TO ALL THE THE TIPS I HAVE LEARNED FROM EVERYONE HERE I AM HAPPY WITH MY FIRST BUILD. HERE IS A COUPLE OF PICTURES OF MY PETE 359.

JARRNO88 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT. THE NEXT THING I AM GETTING REDY TO BUILD IS AND AUTOCAR A64B. I PURCHACED THE KIT A SHORT TIME AGO WHEN IT WAS REISSUED. I ALSO PURCHACED A AMT FRUEHAUF TANK TRAILER KIT AND I AM GOING LENTHEN THE FRAME ON THE AUTOCAR A LITTLE AND USE A SECTION OF THE TANK TRAILER AND MAKE IT INTO A TANK TRUCK. THE AUTOCAR HAS A 250 CUMMINS IN IT BUT THERE ALSO IS A TURBOCHARGER, AFTERCOOLER, EXAUST MANIFOLD ETC. TO CHANGE THE ENGINE TO A NTC350 LISTED UNDER PARTS NOT TO BE USED SO I AM GOING TO PUT A NTC 350 IN IT. I THINK I AM REALLY GOING TO ENJOY MAKING ALOT OF CHANGES FROM JUST THE BOX VERSION.

mackinac359 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Your 359 turned out nice. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 What's gon' on... Well done. Any plans for a trailer? I think a tri axle dump (AMT Fruehauf) would look good on the back of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Albion Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 This is a great looking truck the colour scheme and the chrome work well together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
