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.

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

I appreciate it Nathan!

Cheers Tracy

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

Just wondering

Alfy

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.

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 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

Thanks guys!!
