This my father-n-laws 2011 fathers day gift in progress. I am building him a custom 359 pete from a revell kit. It will feature testors maroon paint with International Harvestor off white stripes, full cab light kit,[aluminum cab guard, rear fenders, custom 8" straight pipe exhaust stacks and a Texas style drop front bumper. It will be pulling a custom built 48' step-deck spread axle trailer made from 2 AMT Fruehauf flatbed kits, some plastruct plastic, 22" lowprofile tires and 10 hole aluminum rims, aluminum tool boxes will sit inbetween the axles. The trailer will feature all aluminum construction, full lights, and a heavy duty winch to load with.

So far, i have the frame painted and put together into a rolling frame. The 3406 Turbocharged Cat engine is in. The cab is painted in the international offwhite and ready to be masked and cleared, then i will shoot the maroon. Here are some shots so far.

Sorry man, pics are too small. You should post it in the community truck build when you can figure out how to post bigger pics. They would love it over there.
