Just finished this one up recently:

One day it will haul a Cat but for now it's a General:

Looks really nice. I like the headache rack on the back. Looks like AITM?

[ntc8733]

Thanks Jim, yes got the rear fenders and rack from AITM.

[mackinac359]

With the flat fenders it looks more like a model 353.

Nice build!

[Ben]

Cool!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the Pete, trailer and General!

[Chad]

Awesome builds! i love the general! some tips on those stacks would be great.

Chad

[ntc8733]

Thanks everyone, Chad the stacks are pretty easy, I actually sand down the original stacks until they fit inside plastic tube then cover them in BMF.

[Jim B]

I must be blind. I didn't even notice the front fenders. They really do give it that construction, 353 look. I like your choice of colors, too.

They are great looking. What trailer did you use?

[catd11rpusher]

I think you did a nice job both trucks look very nice The stacks look cool what are those? Tubing. NICE WORK

[ntc8733]

Gordon, it's the Revell of Germany heavy duty trailer. Mike, I used 3/8" Evergreen tube that slides right over most stock pipes with a little sanding. I then cover them with BMF. Thanks again for the compliments.

[Chad]

I didn't even realize but you're only about 4o miles from me, I'm in Hampton just south of you!

[ntc8733]

Cool. Go there all the time, race RC cars in Hayes.

[BigBad]

Lots of diamond plate on that one! Good work! I really got to get myself a GMC General again... Did you lower the suspension on the GMC?

Thanks Bob, yeah I just heated up the leaf springs and pushed them closer to the frame just like the old school hot rodders and low riders used to do

[camaro68]

Great looking truck like the colors and fenders are they scratch built

[ntc8733]

Donovan, I robbed them from the Revell Germany Western Life Pete 353. Guess it would have been easier to just use that kit, but got other plans for that one.

Neil. Thank you for the information on the trailer.
