Ok back at this one again too.. Got the sleeper back from Jon and the Pete wheels from Steve and now I can Finish mocking up so i can get the frame painted. I have just a little adjusting to do on the front of the truck so i can start hanging parts on it. Need to have this one done by the middle of June for a truck show where the real one will be for some pictures..

Re: Snow-mobile Snow Trucking Inc. 78 Ex 359 Pete

Looks great!! The cab lights, choped sleeper, and rear window looks really good with the combo you have going on there! really cool looking rig!

Re: Snow-mobile Snow Trucking Inc. 78 Ex 359 Pete

The attention to detail of this build really sets it off.
I particularly like the tanks, they are going to come off great when you've painted them.

Re: Snow-mobile Snow Trucking Inc. 78 Ex 359 Pete

Wow are those lilttle polished air tanks behind the fuel tanks? This thing looks awesome, great job Paul. I can't wait to see it finished.

Re: Snow-mobile Snow Trucking Inc. 78 Ex 359 Pete

Another killer build Paul.The air tanks give it a nice touch.Great job!!

Here is a close up of RC4WD new scale bolt headed screws I used them on all visible screws they are great and I am going to use them on all builds from now on and I even replaced the screws on my trucks with black frames that are on the shelf they just add so much to the truck..

Thanks for looking guys.
