Paint looks great Brian. Can't wait to see all finished.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

nice color choice - fabulous lay down - youve got to hold some classes for us to learn from....

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

Thanks for all the compliments fellas! I really appreciate it! Jordan please don't let the Duplicolor cans fool you:o I just use those to hold up what I'm painting. I use a small gravity feed HVLP touch up/jamb gun. The paint is PPG base coat/clear coat. Thanks!

Not sure really what to say or what has not been said just like the last 2 trucks you are raising the level of detail and perfection each time. Keep up the outstanding work.

I'm not usually a guy to post one liners, but in this case, I'll just say 'sweet'!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

Maybe your paint doesn't have SCALE metal flakes:D Scott and I can't wait to dump coal on that shinny hood:p Did your 1:1 have that big of a rear window? My buddy in Oakdale just got his cab painted on a Pete he's been restoring new frame up for the past 8-10yrs. He removed the bunk and put a small rear window in. This truck was an old wrecked, Robbin's heavy haul rig w/ 550hp? Cat power and it has 4 axles.
Yesterday I swear I passed your 1:1 triaxle. I noticed asphalt around the tailgate.

Then I re-angle the windshield 1/4 in the middle. This is the hardest part. then I raise the roof (dome it) about 1/8th of an inch. If you look at the first page of the thread there are some pics of it there. Thanks!

Hey Brian thanks for the info:D I was just sitting here thinking that maybe you should do a video tutorial on the step by step process you do on your Pete Cabs.

I still can't wait to see her finished!!!!:D

Actually Steve I had them Scale down the flake. I thought it was pretty cool that they were able to that! They put the smallest flake they had. My1:1 had a window just like that. The later trucks have a wider back window. The Robbins truck, was it green? I know that had a green International or 2.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

Cant wait for the next update, your builds always amaze me.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

When this is completed it should be build of the year!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

Brian,
That has to be one the sickest tri axles out there coming along real nice can't wait to see the truck complete. I used to drive a freightliner classic XL with that same big dump body type and you nailed it awsome job.
