Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

how long does it take to do the cab and hood ? You are the man

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Brian, the dump box looks very good! I really like the cross members on the underside. From what I can see, you are well on your way to pulling this build off perfectly, just like all of your other trucks. It doesn't surprise me at all!

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

It's looking more like the prototype more and more.. ;)

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump
 

Put me on the list too if they go into production...lol.

Re: New build, Pete 357 tri-axle dump

Thanks for the kind words guys!! I appreciate the interest in the grills. I have the program for them on a jump drive I just have to find a shop to run a few for me to see how they look. I finally got enough done to justify an update!! this build is kickin my a$$. The body alone is real challenge. I gotta give props to all of those who build dump boxes 'cause they're a challenge! The cab protector took my as long to do it as it the did the rest of the box:eek::eek: here are some pics, enjoy!!

Looking good Brian.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Top notch! Looks just like it should, and that grill is awesome. Definitely has Peterbilt written all over it.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Now that is coming along fine Brian:D that grill is sweet :D,when/if you decide to sell those grills don't call them Pete grills as we all know what Paccar is like with there name.

Cheers Tracy

Truck and box are lookin great Brian. Can't wait to see it with some color thrown on it. Wat color ya thinkin? White, red or like Freddy would say BLACK!!! :D

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Top Notch Brian !

Any particular way you mount the rivets? measuring and such ? pattern you go by or a template?


Just wondering

Alfy

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Absolutely top notch work Brian, just comparing with the photo in your avatar, it's a facsimile. Even the little details like the visor, it is precisely like the one on your truck in the picture. Obviously the product of a lot of patience, precision and attention to detail.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

just keeps getting better and better.Great job there.

Thanks Guys!
Thanks!@ The color will be emeral green just like my Pete was.
Thanks! Alfy! I put them 1/4 inch on center. Scale should really be alot closer but That gives it enough to carture the right look.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Brian, your build never cease to amaze! The box is coming together great!

A sweet replica! Had to photoshop a lil mockup here:

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Yea thats a good pic for me to go off of to finnish your parts :)

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Brian this thing is fantastic. The dump box, the grill, the body, all the high end aluminum and shiny metal work from guys here and machine shops you're using...just first class all of it. This right here is what I'm shootin' for in a build. Love it. Thanks for sharing. Joe

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 5-29-11
 

Thanks again guys for all the compliments! Here are some more updated pics!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

Sweet. Love the working coal door.:D

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

Lovin' the detail! This is one of those builds that just keeps getting better and better!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

That is one of a kind right there, really great detail. It's the kind of thing you could never sell to anyone because of all the blood sweat and tears invested in it. Can't put a price on that.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

I don't see how it's possible to top your daycab.......but I think this will
be your best work yet!:D

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

Looking Real Sweet !!

Alfy

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

Awesome! Like it a lot. Great job on the bed, Brian. Great detail.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

Coming along very, very nicely, Brian! The more I keep looking at your trucks, the more I feel like giving these Tamiya rigs another go around, but I'm not much of a styrene working king, like you are! The dump box looks great!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
 

That looks amazing , detail is excellent.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 6-13-11
