Thanks again Tony, it was great meeting you as well. And it was great seeing your rigs, I've been admiring them in all the show pics and to finally see them was a treat.

Keith, you've created and built one of the best truck n trailer combos by far:cool:
This one is a keeper right? You can't part with this beauty:eek: that would be like Reg selling his 850 Kenworth:eek::eek:.... Ain't gonna happen! Lol

Great looking rig, can't wait to see it in person someday.

Thanks Sue, I am going to try to make it to Indy this year, but it's right in between two weeks in cape cod and a week in Mexico this year so it will be tight, but I'm going to try. It would be great to see your trucks and Mario's as well.

Keith,
On Ebay search DCP on page 9 or 10 as well as page 24 or 25 is a replica of your tractor in 1/64 scale did not know if you had one or were interested. One is hooked to a tanker the other to a dump trailer.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
 
Thanks Tony, I have one with a dump, may have to get the tanker though.

Added one of Steve's sweet front bumpers full of Lynn's bezels.

Yes, close to six hundred hooked up and working. All lights work off battle switches and the MFU.

Thanks Paul, I sold this Peterbuilt last year to a guy in Washington. I still have the trailer and since have built a Cascadia to pull it around. I'm also putting together another 379 to pull the trailer.

This is last 379 I built for a friend a few weeks ago.

Ahh yes I recognise that Pete, nice work

Cascadia looks great, the trailer suits a modern Semi like the Freightliner

Keep up the good work!
