GLMFAA1 Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Getting this one back together after 15 years of sitting in shoe box. Kept the green windows and headlights. Used MPC Mack fenders in rear. Can't find battery step, passenger side body extension and the front fender reflectors. Unknown front bumper I grabbed out of the parts box. greg 1
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Looks great! Great that you have been able to keep it all these years!
Warren D Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 I have one of the originals, my first big truck build. I've thought of doing a rebuild like you did but something in me says to keep it the way it is, warts and all. Seeing your re-build makes me think I may have a go at mine. Well done!
leafsprings Posted March 11, 2022 Posted March 11, 2022 Green headlights? I've heard about the green windshield and green side glass to represent the era tinted windows on this first kits, but green headlights too?.
GLMFAA1 Posted March 12, 2022 Author Posted March 12, 2022 Yes, the entire 'glass' tree was green including the running light lenses. If anyone has the battery step, front fender side reflectors, and the passenger side lower body extension and want to part with them I'm interested. greg
doorsovdoon Posted March 15, 2022 Posted March 15, 2022 Lovely looking build, very nice colour. I love these old Pete's.
