Peterbilt 377 daycab

Here is #2 for 2011. I started this in 2004 modifying the hood, cab and fairings and making the bumper and painting the body. It sat in the box until last fall when I built the chassis.

Here is where polishing pays off - I polished with 3M rubbing compound, Surf City Garage Beyond Clay and Mothers Carnuba Wax.

That's gotta be the best looking and well built 377 model I've seen to date. Just a simple domestic truck to me looks by far better than one of those exaggerated penthouse sleeper cabs.

Those parts ended up on another truck long ago..

Very carefully ! Anymore I knock down the rivets a bit during initial construction so that they aren't so tall, that way I lessen the chance of polishing through and exposing them. I still do.. and have to carefully apply touch-up paint to them later.
