bandit1 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 hi guys hey kurt i found the ol' girl... this is a custom triaxle pete 359 ertl/amt kit that i am building... well at least started on what 2 or so years ago? i had started to add a extra section of frame from a old partially built up and painted midnight express kit (had no decals) and then i went and started to modify the body to put dual air breathers on it (as you all know it was a single breather) by adding the extra breather whatever its called! (non trucker building model trucks )to the cab and then cutting the hood for the extra breather which i still need to clean up just a tad! and i traded off the kit engine for a 3406 cat... yeah a CAT guys... that i had started to assemble and mock into place... and then the worst thing happend!... had to pack everything up and move!... and then it was stuck in storage for a while... then well as i was going through everything to see what was there and what wasn't i spotted it and said oh heck yeah i know what i was doing with that and then well heres the pics after i finally broke her open and started to look to see what kind of damage and what not had happened so ill let the pics do the talking here sorta...! heres the decals! heres the wheels heres where i modified the hood ... the cab ...frame( it fell back apart!) comments and crticism welcomed!
ewaskew Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Sounds like a good plan. If you put a flat piece on the inside of that frame it will hold. This is one I extended longer than Revell did for there tri-axle. It holds up good on my current build Are you working on it again or will it be a while? I would like to follow it as it go's together.
bandit1 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Posted March 15, 2011 i hope and hint the word hope to be working on it soon! i want to try to get the frame back together and ill see where i go from there. but eventually this thread will end up being a wip!
bandit1 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Posted November 12, 2011 ok got the frame straightened out pretty much just got some filling work to do and ill add a pic up in the next couple days when i get my camaro pics up so i only take the pic when i take every other ones and go from there! anyone know of a good filler putty or something that wont make the plastic melt?
