Pete with Style

[plow jockey]

Its always a good day when the fedex or ups truck pulls up. Heres a new addition to my fleet.Its one that Stylin rebuilt a while back. I was lucky enough to get it this time around. I need to put a mfu in it and a few more add ons.Here are a few pics.

Looking great, it just makes me wonder why tamiya can't build a truck that looks like that.

Stunning. Wheelbase, shorter sleeper and chrome goodies are spot on.

Thanks. Tamiya goes more towards the Euro style truck. They just came out with the new Benz.

Thanks. I'm really liking it to. Trying to decide what trailer to pull. Maybe a bull hauler or reefer box trailer.

Fred, glad to see you ended up with this one. It will be interesting to see what you do with it. I would go for the Bull hauler.

Thanks Keith. I think your right with the bull hauler. At first I wanted to paint the frame to match the cab. But the more I look at it I'm thinking about keeping it black.

Sounds cool. But a big under taking. Still have a lot of projects to get done. Could add a lift axle and front super singles and make it a heavy haul.

Even better to see it in my fleet.

great addition buddy!! looks good and is a good home

Very, very nice! John sure knows how to build'em! Looks like you just need to get the rear fenders mounted. I can see the posts for them. Did you put a little tire dressing on the tires? Even those shine!

Thanks. That's the way I pulled it out of the box. Them tires do shine. I didn't get the fenders with it. I guess they were broke. Keith has some paint that he is sending so I can make a new set.
Keith thanks again for offering the paint. It's people like you that make this forum so great.

Thanks Buddy! This truck is decked out for sure!

[BRICKNICK]

I'm a huge fan of this truck it looks great in pics but even better in person. I say you go with a nice reefer with a spread axel set up, possibly stainless sides, but the trailer and reefer needs to be paint matched to the tractor. I would love to own this bad boy, good for you ....congrats on that new beauty in your stable.

[Supermario]

I always loved this truck. Such a great look and so true to scale.

Wow Fred..... I dunno? What needs improving? I think you better post all your plans and make sure you have the " Forum .Family " seal of approval first eh? . Lol

Very nice addition to the fleet man!

I would love to see it parked next to Susan's at Indy perhaps???
