Ok since I haven't posted on here,due to not wanting to build anything until now. Here is one that has my interest and its on a couple of other sites also. I built the custom long hood with a long cowl the bottom edge still needs to be finished up, the bumper is %100 scratch built and wrapped with stainless. I added a third axle no photos of it yet. Did a touch up job on the rims with stainless straight pins on the lugs and Dash screw dress up caps from the truck stop for center caps. Still have to add valve stem's to the rim's. All of these next few photos as I go along will be mock up only. Once I get the Battery Box's, Tool Box's,Fuel Tank's,Rear Fenders and Rear Light Bar on. Then every thing will be evened out on the bottom edge to match.    |

Earl, Where have you been hiding? This is going to be an interesting build to follow1 Be Well Gator Thanks for the comments everyone. Gator I just shut down and stopped building,I almost gave it all up as far as models just sick of being depressed all the time. Anyway this is one I'm messing with to get back to building. And of coarse I couldn't build a regular Pete. I'm doing one custom and one custom tri axle wrecker like the Can Do Wrecker. The wrecker body will take a while so it looks like the tri axle custom will be built first. |

I won't be building it for a while as I have several 1/24th scale rigs hogging the work area.
I really would like to drop the sleeper off and make a logger out of it tho. Need to find some 1/16th twheels and tires for a log trailer.

Or find one wheel & 2 tires & have them cast........ ;D ;D ;D Ap40 |

Rick. All I couls use off a Fruehauf would be the wheels, tires and axles but if I find one reasonable enough I may give it a try..
