362 Pete ... Slammed

[MACK Daddy]

Heres a body that I have been working on (amongst many others :rolleyes:)...I Liked the look of the square headlights and figured I would give it a shot...The cab is whats leftover from my red K100 KW...Alot of sanding and priming into this body.. Still needs some filling tweeking though.Still have to figure out a way to get the lights mounted, thats why they are not straight at the moment...:rolleyes:

Let me know what you guys think

Thanks for looking


Alfy

[russisloud]

what else do you have in mind for it?

[Pippoe]

Cool day cab. The headlights seem to be a tad too square.. otherwise it looks great. Well done!

Cheers

Pip

[FreddyGearDrive]

Lookin good so far! Now isn't this much better than wreckin your jeep in the woods?:D

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Alfy take the center bar out of your windshield and put a blinker under the headlights in the corner..

[MACK Daddy]

Thanks For The input fellas.. Been working on it some more and finally decided to go with some 21" frame rails

I think the headlights are just right but will see if I can round them off a bit...As for the blinkers, I am planning on using some plastic orange strips that will go underneath the headlights for the turn signals...Still have to decide on the pipe length and some other misc parts...thats about it for now

Alfy

[Espeefan]

Hey, that's looking pretty good, Alfy. The frame rails look like an ideal length, to me. The cab is looking great as well, but if it was mine, I think I'd go with a front bumper that was more squared off in the corners.

[bigpipespete]

nice truck , always liked the slim line cabs. what color will it be ?

[Dreamweaver]

Alfy, I agree with Paul, on that truck they removed the center windshield post and put in a one piece windshield with three wipers. They only did this for 1983 then they went back to the center post... I think it would look cool to do a '83 model.

[Ken Orme]

Stack height.

Years ago when I worked for White Trucks in Cleveland the max stack height was 13'-6" when they rolled out the factory door. After they reached the customer who knows what they did to them.

Ken

[MACK Daddy]

Thanks For the words fellas....I am with you guys with the center post removed...You cant tell by the angles, but I removed it already

I have a thought on a paint scheme , but want to post pics of the trailer first, which I am currently working on

Thanx
Alfy

[DuelTruckDriver]

Just checking this out looking awesome, I really like the front bumper alot! What kinda paint scheme do you plan to go with? >Marty<

[kenworth]

Wow I like this one.

[Smokin Joe]

I like the front bumper and rear fenders. Just the right shape on both.
Nice job. Joe

Alfy

[SWAGGER]

Mack, gotta be honest. When I looked at the first pics, I wasn't very keen, but I read through the thread, it has evolved into a seriously cool looking rig and I really like it now. You're doing a great job and I love the concept you are going after. Best of luck.

[MACK Daddy]

@ Swagger

Thanks for the kind words....I was hoping to have this ready for the show, but I am not sure now..Still waiting for parts and I am already under the gun with the show two days away I can't seem to catch a break:confused:


Will update as soon as I can get ahead

[Claus]

Wow!! That is sharp, and I'm not a cabover guy at all.

[Espeefan]

That's really awesome. I like COEs, and this truck is just perfect. Great job on this one Alfy. The bare metal stripes turned out perfect. Matches your new fleet colors. Your Peterbilt 379 has the same scheme, right? Love the different rear tail light bars.

[404]

Wow that paint turned out awesome, nice job on the whole rig

[1985 kenworth]

cool cabover...i like the rear bumper...nice:D

[glorydays24]

WOW Alfy, now this is what I call an update.:eek::eek::eek: Really turned out beautiful with the rear bumper, I like it. Great job as usual.:):D:cool::cool::cool:

Big John

[TRUCKMAKER]

Nice CO, one of the best I've seen out there!

[Clint307]

For a cad over that's pretty bad *** looking! Interesting rear bumper also!

[BRICKNICK]

Holy crap Alfy, this thing looks awesome. Nice looking fleet of matching Petes your growing there. Now my question is what happened to the tool boxes you had on the frame earlier in the build and where did you get them? I really need a few sets of those.

[Snochaser]

Really, really nice Alfy!! BA! :eek::eek:

[JDH429]

Thats Tight!

[russisloud]

you guys should see it in person :D


nice shinny bits :p

[plow jockey]

SWEET!!! That is one bad a$$ COE!!! Luv how the rear turned out. Awesome job Alfy!!

[MACK Daddy]

Thanks for the feedback fellas much appreciated

@ Nathan... yeah, same paint scheme as the 379

@ Bricknick... I decided not to use the tool boxes and give it a cleaner look...Thos tool boxes were made by the late and great FGD

Heres a couple of shots next to my 379

Alfy

[dabears]

Hands down Killer combo!!! Love it!

[Espeefan]

Very nice Alfy! Both trucks are super clean, and well built. I have to wonder though.....how a polished visor would look on the 362, and how the fuel tanks on the 379 would look in black!

[Claus]

Two mighty fine trucks! I gotta agree with Nathan, the tanks on the cabover looks so good I think the 379 needs the same treatment.

[MACK Daddy]

Good point fellas, I have wondered that myself?.....painting the tanks on the 379 didnt occur to me till i decided to paint them on the 362...I originally had hydraulic PMD oil tanks on the 379 till I sold off the dump trailer

Thanks
Alfy

[MACK Daddy]
