New rerelease AMT California Hauler 359

[TruckerAL]

Finished up tonight. Still sadly the same old California Hauler kit, only thing different is the new tooled sleeper, decal sheet, and that's it. Couple fit issues per usual but came out great none the less. Here's the mod list in no particular order: moved the rear axles forward a bit, 3d printed mudflap hangers, exhaust stacks, custom made and kit decals, moebius rims with kit tires, parts box hood grab handle, air horns, and windshield wipers, Italeri 5th wheel, fully scratchbuilt Hodgebuilt 3 bar fenders. The engine is a mix of kit pieces, and some updated International CO4070A engine pieces. Enjoy!

Looks awesome!! Very vintage looking!! I like it! Did you modify the front fenders or are they corrected in this kit?

It still my be the same old kit but you have made it your own still loving the stacks and elbows and I have never seen flat quarter fenders before A+, oh and the Tom Cat on the mud flaps nice personal touch ?

Oh shoot I forgot to mention it, those aren't the kit fenders, they are the revell snap 359 kit!

Very nice! I love the stacks and the tail lights. I am a fan of the Moebius wheels as well. The color and livery is pretty cool too. I have never seen a tube from the roof A/C to the sleeper before. Did you find that in your research? If I may suggest, some Suzie coils would finish off it off nicely.

That's one beautiful paint scheme and a great looking truck Alex. I used an older issue of this kit when I built the DUEL truck. It was a blast. This is my favorite conventional truck.
