Guest Johnny Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Fantastic looking Rig! The more you do the better it gets! Looking foreward to seeing it hooked up and ready for the road! I remember seeing a few when I was OTR. Most were conventional but two were COE's One COE Double bunk Pete was a couple from Alaska! I was following them down I-94 and he was saying his wife was in the "kitchen" cooking up eggs, bacon, toast and coffee for breakfast! Said as soon as she was done he was hitting the exit to eat and invited me for breakfast! I asked how she cooks on a stove top in a moving truck and he said the same way she did on her first husbands fishing boat! Pertty neat inside! The bunk in the cab was their bedroom and the rest was "home" as she called it! They were true Gypsy Truckers! They had sold everything for the rig and this was their home,complete with toilet shower and all!
freightshaker Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 thats a really great looking build. I like the color. where did you get your air shield?
highway Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 where did you get your air shield? This is just a guess, but there is one very similar in the Revell of Germany Peterbilt 359 kits.

Porky Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Hey Ray Man that thing is looking great with the orange paint, I Like It !!! The under cab detail work is over the top, really nice work. Can't wait to see this one finished up.
dettrucker Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Great looking build one thing that might look very cool is a light panel in between the rear fenders also how about trying to make a flush mount rear deck plate.
old-hermit Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Sharp looking build, I like the old cabin cruisers.
Gray Smith Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 wow! beautiful truck...and its a cabover!
TKobes Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Looks really nice! I really like the way you mounted the mud flaps! Great work!
BigBad Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Hey Ray, where is this incredible piece of work now? I was looking up stuff for a Ford LTL and your blue truck showed up, what happened to that one? And an impressive sleeper cab Autocar also showed up. So what up Ray? What happened to these interesting builds?

BigBad Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 You sold the LTL... Too bad I didn't catch that one! You do nice work, you should show it a little more!
BigBad Posted August 1, 2012 Posted August 1, 2012 Great paint job! I like it a lot. Take allll the time you need to complete this. It's a really nice piece!
k100 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I wonder if this every got finished ? it looks really good some nice detail.
landman Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I like it. A suggestion for the frame might be to go with a Champaign Gold. I agree with this. Monochrome is the word. Would look very custom & classy.
Anonymous Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Curious. Did you take the photo of the United truck or do you have any information on it?
