Re: 55 Pete 281 DUEL W.I.P.
It's been a while now, I hope you have got to get some more work done on this because it's definitely one to watch. So far, the cab is looking amazing. Can't wait for an update.

Re: 55 Pete 281 DUEL W.I.P.
Hey guys,
Sorry for the extremely prolonged update on this build. After I had to totally redo the roof I kinda lost intrest in it for a while. But this roof is much better strength wise, just need to cut some .10 sheet to simulate the overlap roof. Here a couple of pic's of the new roof and 1 door done up also cut the frame rails front and rear. The front crossmember has to be reworked a ton but, not worried about that now lol. The doors are lots of work since they are made in two pieces and each window opening has radiused styrene to give it the rounded edges lots of work here and, then getting everything to line up perfectly. Left side of cab is been overlaped with .10 sheet not got to the right yet this will simulate the look of the old Petes.       >Marty<

Re: 55 Pete 281 DUEL W.I.P.
Well worth the wait, that cab is so 1:1 looking! I'm glad you have found a renewed interest in it. Keep at it man, it's clearly going to be first class with that level of attention to scale.

The cab is gonna take a while I'm working on the left side door tonight. Next I half to get the front bumper frame crossmember redone so I can mount the bumper. Then I'll cut my fenders out of street 45's. The grill and hood will take some time to fab up. Heres another quick pic of the cab on the frame. Sorry for the terrible pic's my camera is a turd lol.

Amazing. I have a ton of respect for guys, like you, who build stuff like this. From scratch! From what I can see, all the proportions and details look fantastic!

Re: 55 Pete 281 DUEL W.I.P.
i cant believe the detail of the trailer, every noticeable rust spot and defect on the real thing matches this one. As for the cab it looks very accurate and well done on the build so far!

Again guys I appology for the crappy pic's! I hate this camera it is useless to try to set it up. Here a very small update, haven't had too much time to work on it this week.  Wifey is on me to get the pool installed and running. The front crossmember had to be cut down almost to nothing to allow for the angle cut frame horns. And shortened to allow the bumper to be closer to the front wheels, to match the movie Pete.     >Marty<
