Question Re: Simple Pete Daycab

Thanks for all the comments guys, I appreciate it a lot! I wish ole Geardrive was here to see this, he'd never believe I'm actually going to paint something! My goal is to have this done much before the march meet Tim!

Thanks! It will be getting alum tanks and I think I'm going to go with some flat top fat stacks I have


Next update will be paint!

Well guys.... I sorta hit a road block... Er... Drove off a bridge last night. It turns out rustoleum paint doesn't like duplicolor primer, so I was left with a gooey mess that would have taken insane effort to fix with sub-par results. Before I threw the cab against the wall and kicked a puppy (just kidding!) I saved the rear panel of the cab to use on the next body, which is already on it's way. I wasn't 100% happy with this body anyway, so mk2 should be even better

This piece was the most difficult part about the build


On a brighter note.... I get my liscence next Friday, although I should have had it in September.... But I was too busy with work to finish up drivers Ed in time

That's unfortunate about the paint. You're not the only one who hasn't laid any paint down on a truck! Paint is overrated! Then again, maybe finishing a truck is too.....

Ok, got my new body in today and went to town on it after school



Hacksaw blade was my weapon of choice


Made quick work of the sleeper


Next I broke out the razor saw to shave the headlight buckets


Then made filler pieces for the roof and headlights





And finally glued in my rear panel


I also slapped on some bondo, but I didn't think you guys really need to see that. I managed to get this done over the course of about 3 hours

Tomorrow: Sanding, sanding and...... more sanding!
