That is the 397, the one that burned up. Not a 387..........

I've always liked the 387/397 Petes too.
Where did the 397 work? Looks like an aggregate type trailer in a dry part of the US.
The sand 397 and the blue Pete would be cool projects.
Do you have the book "The Evolution of Class" by Warren A. Johnson? It's a good book with information on these two models.

Yes your right but look at the fender skirt where the steering gear sits that back panel just above it has all these bends in it

[/URL Heres a pic of the fender back panel i have been trying to figure out how it is shaped i believe both 387 and 397 have similar back panels i like to make them as close as i can to the real ones
