James Maynard Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Good evening everyone, I hope you had a great weekend. Anyway I got this old buildup in the mail yesterday and planning on restoring it soon. It is the original kit from 1972 molded in gray with green glass. The second cab is the later reissue I think. So is the sleeper. I'm going to get the Dual 361 truck hood from Keystone Aluminum Miniature Models and put on here making it a 1959 Peterbilt. Probably gonna paint it yellow. Changing the wheels too. Anyway here's the truck as she sits at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Maynard Posted June 29, 2022 Author Share Posted June 29, 2022 So quick update here. I got the cab stripped of paint, and the window post fixed. Got the chassis painted the front axle issue fixed, and the wheels I'm going to us on. Interior is done too. Next update will be after I get the Duel Peterbilt hood. Not building the Duel truck by the way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Maynard Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 More progress. I got my hood and got everything painted. Fitting it to the frame and seeing how it's going to look with mirrors and chrome on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
