Repstock Posted July 8, 2023 Author Posted July 8, 2023 PAINT! A stage I rarely reach in a build these days! I decided on an old, tired Central Transport truck. I know Central is known for their yellow livery, but there was a time...Hopefully soon I can get a chance to draw up some decals. This is a s clean as she'll ever be. The red is darker than these pictures make it appear. 1
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 That looks awesome! I can’t wait to see this one done!
Rockford Posted July 8, 2023 Posted July 8, 2023 Looks great, you'd never imagine that's scratch built!
Repstock Posted July 10, 2023 Author Posted July 10, 2023 I've got the decals drawn and printed. Progress continues.
leafsprings Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 Great choice for paint scheme and decals, looks fantastic!

Repstock Posted July 19, 2023 Author Posted July 19, 2023 I'm done with the cab for now, and moving on to the engine. Most of the subtle weathering doesn't appear to show up in photos, but can be seen in person. 1
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Words cannot describe how Awesome this looks! You even got the heater in the sleeper. The details are beyond amazing!

hct728(Bob) Posted July 20, 2023 Posted July 20, 2023 Wow, unique, accurate and the crispness and detail is better than any kit! Very impressive!
Repstock Posted July 27, 2023 Author Posted July 27, 2023 The engine is pretty much done. I will try to keep moving forward on this. Thank you, those who have stuck with it so far. 2
OldTrucker Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Great job on this build! I first thought the interior pictures were a 1:1 truck!LOL
Trendsetta68 Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Absolutely fantastic scratch-built tractor/interior !!! Revell/ Round2 should contact you about a kit of this !!!
Repstock Posted September 13, 2023 Author Posted September 13, 2023 Pardon the clutter, I have a few projects going, but I'm trying to keep this one alive. Here is my progress. The cab just happened to balance on the chassis for me to take the cab-on shot. I used the wheels and tires from the CO-4070A. Most of the rest is Freightliner cabover. I probably shouldn't have used the flash feature. 3
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 Amazing!!! This is the best Dodge cabover model that I have ever seen!! Excellent work!!
RoninUtah Posted September 13, 2023 Posted September 13, 2023 +1 to what Brian said. I thought mine was pretty good, but compared to yours it looks like a toy! I see you even have the luberfiner in the right place- Dodge had to install them upside down, because there wasn't enough clearance to get the filter out from the top! One minor note: Most L1000 had a pair of air tanks on the driver's side, attached to the bottom of the battery box and slightly offset vertically. See attached pic. Great work!
