DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) This began as an L8000 car hauler kit. The 3406 Cat is from one of the snap kits. It was tilted and modified for this project. Tires are from KJ at Doubletake, Front wheels and tanks are from Auslowe, Decals are from Jerry at modeltruckin, the rest is parts box.

Bowtienutz Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 Very nicely done.Great details! I can hear those air lines hissing.
TheSDTrucker Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Very well done! It's a shame all the detail you put in the engine is mostly hidden, but it still makes a great piece!
Hermann Kersten Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Beautiful build and awesome pictures taken in the right angles! Hermann.
Badluck 13 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Holy WOW!!!!! in the right setting this could pass for the real thing....Fantastic!!! ...Love the under hood detail.
leafsprings Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 Excellent job. Super authentic. Its amazing how the upgrades can transform a local truck to a fully capable line haul tractor.
Jim Whalen Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Fantastic build with lots of little details to go along with the conversion to a tractor unit.
Tyler62990 Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Wow, great job man. I'm loving that engine detail, and those gladhands are probably the most realistic I've seen.
gatorincebu Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Wow ! Very nicely done and looking good ! Be Well Gator
