Oldmopars Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This is really looking great. I love the colors. I would have never thought to use the lightgreen, but it looks great. This is really coming together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have never thought to use the lightgreen, but it looks great. This is really coming together. I used Krylon Ivory for the base color and couldn't make up my mind on a second color. My wife picked the second color. Had half a can of Ocean Mist Rustoleum sitting in the closet and she said it was perfect so that is what it became.

I believe it was the width of the center raised section at the front angled to the center point at the back then squared it off to meet the cowl. Been a long time ago so do some measuring and research it online. It may still be out there somewhere.

That will help as I have an ho 1/87 Peterbilt that I will try to narrow the hood on Thanks again On 6/28/2021 at 12:53 PM, OldTrucker said: Bed floor, header and rear panel ready for primer and finish.

OldTrucker Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 Slow going but getting closer. This has been one tough kit with poor instructions and ill fitting parts. Had to remove rear axle and adjust it to line up with the wheel wells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
