Peterbilt 351 project


Recommended Posts

Thanks guys for the comments on the scheme, I copied it from a B&W pic from a book I have. I really liked the way the cowl was also painted.

Jarda - Thanks a million for posting those pics, they will be real valuable on my next one ! Do you have any pics of the front frame and the front spring hangers you could post ?

Wow, it has been such a long time since an update on this one.  Going to try and get this one on the display shelf .

Made window glass out of some clear packaging. There is a scratch here and there but I have to work with what I have on hand. Speaking of, the BMF kinda looks like "Hammered Rat doodoo" .

But I kid you not I have had this stuff since I was 15. Yeah - 36 years I have been packing this stuff around with Japanese writing on the backing paper. It has not fared too well and has a lot of creases in it. But I still have it :lol:

I have no idea where I hid the wheels and tires but they are here somewhere.

Looking good Sean. The old Pete looks tough with the walking beams. What motor did you end up ?

 

Terry I used on of those Detroits.

 

Gator - What do you mean by trailer , that would take up the shelf space of two more trucks . Actually I would like to have an old round front style.

Sean, The Pete is looking really good! As for the trailer thing. Yeah I got ya on that.. I have the same sort of problem. But I also have the unbuilt trailers to consider as well. I am planning on making a special storage case for them. So I will have different trailers to display with the trucks for photos. Be Well Gator
