Yet another Snap Pete 359

[angelo7]

This is a great kit to modify and learn new tricks. The box shown is this kit. This is my third one. It will be a single axle , day cab rig. I'm planning to paint the chassis red also but looking at these pictures, I'm beginning to like the white color. I even thought about a blue chassis. Not sure yet. I removed about 1 1/2 inches from the frame. The back of the cab is part of the sleeper made to fit and filled around with putty. Will get back with more pictures as I progress.

The white looks good. I did the same thing to my revell 359, about 1 1/2" out of the frame. Its a shame the 5th wheel plate is molded with the frame. Very cool little truck

Nice to see a snap tite converted to a single drive.

Looking at it, red cab and white frame looks cool!

Nice.

[Chariots of Fire]

That's cool. Pete shorties aren't seen much around here. Might look nice with a dump body!

[Old Buckaroo]

That is some nice work, The rear cab mount is a great addition.

I dont know how I missed this earlier.
