FINNALY FINISHED FIRST MODEL

[JARRNO88]

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.

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.

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.

This is a great looking truck the colour scheme and the chrome work well together.
