TruckerAL Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Here's another long project I just finished for a buddy of mine. This took about a month and fought me the whole time. Results were worth it, but the progress to get here wasn't! I'm glad it's done, it did come out fantastic though. The mod list is as follows: resin 379 hood conversion kit from Moluminum. 3d printed: bumper, battery boxes, cab/sleeper light panels, flattop sleeper roof, air cleaner lights, rims on truck and trailer, tool boxes, exhaust system, rear fenders, mudflaps, 5th wheel assembly, and rear light panel. Fuel tank end cap covers are custom made fabric pieces from STS Scale Model Decals. The trailer is relatively box stock. Light Decals from STS, 3d printed rims, mudflaps and tool boxes. Modified the rear tail light/mudflap area to accommodate the new pieces. Enjoy! 6 1

Jim B Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Great looking combination. Very well done. 1
XYHARRY Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Great match to the 1:1. I really like the checkerboard graphic on the fuel tanks. Well done Alex. Cheers, David. ?? 1
trick my mixer Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Can never go wrong with a 379 EXT. hood Peterbilt. Sharp looking mini " LARGE CAR " 1
vincen47 Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 Wonderful. All that extra work put into it was worth it, for sure. You don’t see a whole lot of these 379 conversions done because of the the added effort required, but they sure stand out. 1
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 You really captured the look of the 1:1 379! Excellent work! The Catroit engine even fooled me at first. Very nice!! 1
David G. Posted September 29, 2023 Posted September 29, 2023 I'd say you nailed it, well done! David G. 1
Pete68 Posted August 15, 2024 Posted August 15, 2024 Great looking build Al. Looks like my brother Bill’s resin master hood is still holding up well fits like a glove. Beautiful outcome. 1
TransAmMike Posted August 15, 2024 Posted August 15, 2024 Wow Al, that is so realistic looking in the photos? Great job. 1
