QCDOC Posted September 18, 2010 Author Posted September 18, 2010 Hi, Allen. Nice work. I have T2000 kit too and it has problem with hood shape and boubbles in windscreen too. But I think there is no such thing that couldn't be fixed if you realy want it. As for the boubbles - they could be drilled out and filled with "Future" several times, I think. The hardest sytuation have people, who haven't got windscreen at all. Thank you. Your trucks set the bar! I have an idea for a wind screen that should be an easy fix!
Ben Posted September 18, 2010 Posted September 18, 2010 That interior looks sharp!!!! I plan on building the T2000 Red Racer with my kit. It won't have much of an interior as the real truck just has one seat with a roll cage.

Ben Posted September 19, 2010 Posted September 19, 2010 that is going to be a cool build, Ben. I've been gathering parts for it for a while now. The Cummins Signature 600's was the biggest hurdle and now I have those in resin so all I have left is to have all the decals made.
Romell R Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Nice build goin on here, its a shame about the window though. I have a question.....wait for it...... WHERE CAN I GET THIS T2000 ??? sorry i was just a lil excited
Kostas Parchas Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Thank you. Can you warm that up in hot water and straiten it out? The truth is that I am afraid to do this at the moment....
QCDOC Posted September 20, 2010 Author Posted September 20, 2010 The truth is that I am afraid to do this at the moment.... I understand.
Sergey Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) I like the engine. Is it Signature 600? Mark, how do you plan to make the hood hinges? I thought the hood here is one piece with the bumper. Edited May 6, 2011 by Sergey

In the T-2000 .pdf on page 17 there is a good picture. The hinge assembly fits to a sub-frame that attached to the hood. I will probably make mine out of brass wire.
mackinac359 Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 The early T2000's had the bumper molded to the hood. This changed a few years into the run. Tim

QCDOC Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 I had hopes of eventually doing a Stevens Tran port. That's the look I am going after. I am going to use a darker blue.

Kostas Parchas Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 QCDOC, I am very happy that you are back again to this model. I am very curious about the final result because I have never seen this kit before completed. I also thinking very seriously to try to correct my damaged T2000 hood. Good luck to this.. Kostas.
QCDOC Posted May 8, 2011 Author Posted May 8, 2011 Early on in to the T2000 production, they were speced mostly with Cummins N14s. I was going to put a Cummins N14 in, but I decided to put that into my Cab-over wrecker.

It is not a bad kit. It does need a lot of work. I just glued my doors into the cab. I was going to hinge them but they would not look good closed.
bandit1 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 2 questions for y'all! 1. what type of frames/chassie would you use as a donor for these delegant kits? 2. the pete 387 kit what engine specs do you have available for it (maybe a cat!) and another one just popped up but where if anyone knows where i can get the 387 kit???

Sean, are you sure you don't mean the 378? Italeri has that and a 377 A/E, and both kits have a Detroit Series 60. As for finding it, assuming you did mean the Italeri 378, does the Bridgeport Equipment and Tool (B.E.T.) Rental down by Krogers sell models? The owner of that has T&K Hobby up here in Bridgeport, and they carry Italeri trucks, and I'm almost sure there might even be one of the 378 kits up here.
