richellis Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi, My first post, so Hi! Im working on a Revell Pete 359, and going custom! Ive made the chassis frame and added about 1 inch to the length and plated it over for the smooth look, the cab, hood and sleeper have been modified to sit lower on the frame, and Ive chopped the doors to Suicide style! Its looking a bit rough, and the doors aren't clipped into place for the photos and they do line up when correctly fitted. Im thinking Gun-metal for the wheels and tanks, maybe the chassis as well and a black or dark multi effect paint for the bodywork. Needs a good dark name as well though!

richellis Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Got this back on the bench now, I have some resin bits on the way for the rear wheel arches, but in the mean time Ive been sanding, smoothing and plating over areas! Custom sun visor on the cab done as well. The whole lot needs a dose of filling and sanding now but its coming together! The cab hood and sleeper sit a lot lower on the chassis to give the long low look, the cab doors hinge backwards, suicide style, and inside the driver has some sports seats from the spares box, and a gun as a custom shifter!

richellis Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 I would be interested if you have thoughts or ideas on this, you guys in the US have a better eye for US custom stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q tip Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 the revel kit built straight from the box really doesn't have a nice appeal to it, but being built as a custom as I have seen , as with yours , made me grab one (post pics later). the best advise I can give anyone wanting to customize trucks would be to contact a chrome and custom shop and have them send a catalog with pictures. I use one for reference, its a great thing to have. john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truck parts Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Looking good so far,and will be following this build as you do on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsbooks Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Very cool! Like the gun shifter a lot! Clever. Maybe use horse tack/cowboy stuff for some interior stuff like spurs, bits, bridles, and that sort of thing? For what it is worth, I picked up a spray can of Krylon "brown boots" satin finish. Has a nice leather like finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kostas Parchas Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Don't know why, but I love the headilights although they are a little bit strange. Kostas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
