Peterbilt 357
Well I've got the colors on it, now time for some clear. I have a lot to add in the future in addition to the mirrors, grill, lights ect.... wheels/tires, floats, headache rack, center mount taillights, paint the frame, electrics and so on. You guys got me hook, line and sinker at Indy!!!
Thanks for looking. -Ben |

The truck is looking good Ben it just takes time and it will all come together. If I remember right from meeting you at Indy you have a couple of tricycle motors (kids) running around the house and they can slow down the building progress.

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Thanks guys. I can't take credit for the body work or chassis, that would be SemiJoe's handy work. I just wanted one done so I can focus on other things. I will try my hand at another truck in the future. Gotta finish my 535C and build a lowboy....

Great looking colors, but I think you should also paint the frame rails to match the cab. That would really make it look sharp!

Thanks for the compliments.
Does anyone know of a good adhesive/glue for attaching the amber pieces to the ends of the PMD Peterbilt light buckets? -Ben |

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
there is some modeling glue that dries clear - ussually used for making window glass - might try this.
I have tradiotionaly used CA - but tends to make a mess of it - try dispensing on a piece of cardboard then use a needle or tooth pick to place a tiny amount where needed.. |

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
Nice color choice for your 2 tone. I would go with a painted frame tho to really set it off. Very sharp truck none the less.

Re: Peterbilt 357 (snochaser's work in progress)
I do want to paint the frame, but I was thinking black. I want to be a "work truck". I will have to think on the same color as the cab.
I need a different motor, the stock 540 is waaaayyyyy to fast, I believe I have heard you guys say a 55turn is a good way to go.? I hope to build a four axle dump down the road and I'd like to have my fleet have the same color scheme. Thanks FabOne, you and Stepside really inspired me to buy/ build... now I've got the bug for trucks too. -Ben |
