Peterbilt 352 Wrecker

[Tesla]

Nice mods on the wheels and super detailing. Way to go Terry!

[Superpeterbilt]

I shot some primer on the cab and started smoothing all of the splices before replacing the rivets that were sanded off. After a few coats, and some 400 grit, I got it about where I want it.

[Superpeterbilt]

I was going to drop a 250 Cummins power plant under the cab, but Im at a stand-still with casting. So with my resin engine not ready, I decided to build a 350 Cummins. To keep it line with the attitude of the truck, Im making it a twin turbo. Its not going to be a true NTCC 475 TT, but whose counting? I hooked them together using cut up bends from Detroit dual exhaust. Just a little extra touch.

do you know around abouts what year the twin turbo would have come out?

I dont really have any solid info, but the earliest year truck Ive found one in was a 1970 Pete. Ive seen more 80s model Petes with them. Theres a video on youtube of a 71 Pete with twins and it sounds pretty wicked.

I rescored the panel lines on the cab and applied the micro mark rivets.Its ready for paint.

[Petetrucker07]

It looks awesome Terry, it looks good without the wrecker body.

[Trailking120]

There is a lot of hard work going into this project keep up the good work.

[Superpeterbilt]

Started getting some color on the cabover.

Terrific job on this one. The rivets turned out great. This will be my text book if I ever come to build something like this.

[mackinac359]

[Tesla]

[Petetrucker07]

Lookin good Terry.

[kilrathy10]

Oh, yeah....She's a beauty....Coming along very nicely.....Like the way you did the back end of the tow body, too.....That looks great....

[Superpeterbilt]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Heres where I started striping, and masking it. I tried a different shade of red, and hated it. So its back to the old trusty red, and now Im happy.

1st red

2nd red

[Petetrucker07]

Thats a really nice red man. Your comin down the home stretch on it. This is gonna look really good.

[Superpeterbilt]

This paint has been fighting me EVERY step of the way. My masking ripped off a few of my rivets, and there have been plenty of other flaws. I amost put this in a box to come back to it in a few years, but I really want it done for Sept.Heres it finally looking like something, but I still have sone touch ups to do.

[Petetrucker07]

I hate when things just dont go right, it takes the wind right out the sails of motivation

[Kostas Parchas]

It fights you, you fight it! Go for it. Iike the paint theme idea.

Kostas.
