Peterbilt 362( Great Pumpkin painted)

[20dakota04]

I started this and it was put on the back burner so I could finish my Paystar.I have two of these 362's and they where both warped it took a lot of work to get them in usable condition.I made a Double Eagle sleeper and was going to paint it like the United truck below but now I'm not sure what the paint is going to be.

Made a front bumper and some boxes that are being chromed.

This is where it is at right now. The fenders are stretched Turnpiker fenders.

I like it so far, looking good.

Well I decided on orange mist for the paint but need to figure out a color for the frame. I don't want to go with black it hides the details.

[Jim B]

Looks nice. I like the orange.

I thought the AMT kit was a 352? I'm so confused!!!

[Guest old man]

nice paint do the frame a diffrent color orange or yellow ? just my 2 cent's worth

I like it. A suggestion for the frame might be to go with a Champaign Gold.

[Scalper]

Cool. very cool.

[Kostas Parchas]

Very nice & impresive Peterbilt you have there!!!

My first thought for the chassis color was yellow, but to make it diferent I would like to see it painted in white.

IMPRESSIVE BUILD. LOVE THE ORANGE.

Just a small update. I did some more undercab detailing and made some hydraulic lift cylinders. What a pain in the neck to get them to work right.

Nice job on the lift cylinders. It was worth the effort.

[Pete1980]

Well first thing AWSOME!!!Second is Orange hmmm not a lot of choises for the frame.Now Tim did a Pete(PACCAR Tractor 389)some time ago Blue with a gray on the frame, its a idea.I do like the yellow idea also.Another thing look at Tims recent 359 Yellow cab/sleeper black chassis very nice.My 2 pennies.Now please tell me, is that cab 1/24 scale cause the wheels look like Italeri wheels and I wanna build some 24th scale COE Petes. Nice build BTW.

Yes the cab is 1/24th scale and I think I'm going with gray for the frame.Thanks

Real nice cab detail, hinges, and hoist.

[Pete1980]

How do I get one of these cabs.I want one. Good luck on the build.

[Ben]

That's really lookin good!!!!!!! I personally love the look of an all orange truck! Orange cab, chassis and wheel hubs!!!!

[Tony Bryan]

Love the detail, and the craftmanship that you are putting into this, very nice work

[20dakota04]

Got some under cab detailing done today.

[Old Albion]

This is a great looking project. The under cab detail is very good and I like the orange, this would look good with a metallic grey or silver frame!! Perhaps also try a white and black belt stripe or something like that.

Just for curiosity sake. Haven't delt with a COE in years. Should the end of the cylinder not go between the two tabs? Therefore making it stronger? Just wondering. Awesome build though.
