Peterbilt 351 with reefer trailer

[KJ790]

I was able to get some outdoor shots this afternoon. This started as an AMT California Hauler that I scratch built a new hood and sleeper for. I shortened the frame and made new wheels and tires as well. The trailer is the new AMT release of the Italeri reefer trailer (with modifications). I was using the truck from the 1973 movie "Road Movie" as the inspiration.

Folks, this is exactly why we should all be taking pics outside!

The lighting is perfect and I think emphasizes the build. Which is also pretty dang good!

Awesome job replicating the truck & trailer!  Your pics outside make them look so real!

You did it again, KJ - fantastic build that looks so real...

These needle-nose Petes are my all-time favourites since I saw the movie "duel" in the early 70's:  really awesome with excellent photos !!!

Outstanding work. I saw Road Movie. It's a shame what happens to that truck at the end.
