Custom Freightliner Project


Recommended Posts

Here's another one I am working on, Got the cab with this work done to it, the hood master was tweaked so I cut it apart and am in the process of tryin to get it straighten out. Any custom truck guys out there ??? What do you think ???

Cool project! Is that a conversion kit?

Hello, This is a set of master parts for a resin conversion. The hood was all tweaked when I got it. At the moment the hood is cut into 3 pieces. As soon as I get it all back together I will be offering them in resin. ;)

That kind of sucks, 'cuz it sure looks like you were on the right track! I'd really like to see more 'hot rod' and custom big rigs!

Hey Chuck

I will get the hood straighted out if I have to build a new one. I just got a bit fed up with it this morning and I am casting and clayin up some more parts so maybe that was the problem, tryin to work on it between puttin stuff in and out of the pressure pot, guess I'm not a multi tasker :rolleyes:

I will post some more pics of the rig when I get the hood right. Working on a few more custom big rigs too, so stay tuned. :rolleyes:

Hi Porky.........shame its giving you fits.....will still be cool when its done, i think id have to do the 64 if i had your skills.....be cool to have a 64 wagon? would make for a sweet grocery getter ot old school tow vehicle!

Hey Mark

I might end up doing that Bonneville, Have not found a donor kit with the right lenght chassis yet so if I can't find one I might pop the orig. chassis when I do it. For sure doing the 64' Chevelle Wagon and the Elcamino soon as I get the 2 or 3 truck projects out of the way.

Thanks again for the hood scoop for the 61' Shade Tree project that you sent this way !!!
