TruckerAL Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 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! 3
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Looks awesome!! Very vintage looking!! I like it! Did you modify the front fenders or are they corrected in this kit? 1
J.B. Customs Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 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 ? 1
Gary Chastain Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 Very nice detail, well done, colors work well. 1

Bills72sj Posted February 26, 2023 Posted February 26, 2023 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. 1
happy grumpy Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 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. 1
Joe Nunes Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 Very nice and the color choice is really sharp. Well done! ? Joe 1
