I got me a package from Stevie today!! Man these are perfect. I asked Steve to make a set of Donaldson air cleaners that were like the ones on my Truck. You tell me how well he nailed them!

looks good Brian I just wish I could've put the screen under the cap :o maybe a little blueing will get the shading :confused:

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 8/24/11
 

Thanks Brian and do you order from the link you supplied us? Or is there any US suppliers i can get it from?

Thank guys!!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/05/11
 

Thanks Brian. Killer build! Joe

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/05/11
 

Gosh i feel all warm and fuzzy inside now ......wait maybe it was that Burrito i ate:D I just wanted to try something different and it worked out, boy did my hand hurt after all those i did, but i would do it it again. :D I wonder if the guy at Scale hardware is wondering why he is getting flooded for rivet orders lol :D


Man those step tanks came out awesome they look really sweet and the air cleaners are just amazing, there really is alot of talent here on the board.

Also i was wondering (if its not a trade secret) is there a build thread or possablly one you may do to give your pete's that pete look? I was wondering what you did different on your cabs and such, so maybe this old feeble mind could learn a new trick or 2?

Again excellent work Brian!!!

Mike

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/05/11
 

Thanks Mike! The Pete cabs have alot of altering dome. First I extend the cowl out 1/4 inch, during this I also square off the cowl a little. The cabs that were used after the 359's were like this. Then I re-angle the windshield 1/4 in the middle. This is the hardest part. then I raise the roof (dome it) about 1/8th of an inch. If you look at the first page of the thread there are some pics of it there. Thanks!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

nice color choice - fabulous lay down - youve got to hold some classes for us to learn from....

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Thanks for all the compliments fellas! I really appreciate it! Jordan please don't let the Duplicolor cans fool you:o I just use those to hold up what I'm painting. I use a small gravity feed HVLP touch up/jamb gun. The paint is PPG base coat/clear coat. Thanks!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!

Your attention to detail , your workmanship , your skill is just outstanding from the plasticard cab work to the metal fab of the body.

You are an insperation. I just want to rip king apart now ! ! .

Andy

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Not sure really what to say or what has not been said just like the last 2 trucks you are raising the level of detail and perfection each time. Keep up the outstanding work.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

I'm not usually a guy to post one liners, but in this case, I'll just say 'sweet'!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Maybe your paint doesn't have SCALE metal flakes:D Scott and I can't wait to dump coal on that shinny hood:p Did your 1:1 have that big of a rear window? My buddy in Oakdale just got his cab painted on a Pete he's been restoring new frame up for the past 8-10yrs. He removed the bunk and put a small rear window in. This truck was an old wrecked, Robbin's heavy haul rig w/ 550hp? Cat power and it has 4 axles.
Yesterday I swear I passed your 1:1 triaxle. I noticed asphalt around the tailgate.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

fantastic paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cant wait to see her all together

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/05/11
 

Hey Brian thanks for the info:D I was just sitting here thinking that maybe you should do a video tutorial on the step by step process you do on your Pete Cabs.

I still can't wait to see her finished!!!!:D

Mike

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Another GREAT job Brian! The paint job is awesome. It really brings out the details. Keep us posted as you assemble it.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

WOW , what a gorgeous color . Would love to see that in sunlight.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Looking forward to seeing that green paint stand tall against some stainless and aluminum! :-D

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Thanks Andy!

Thanks Paul!
Actually Steve I had them Scale down the flake. I thought it was pretty cool that they were able to that! They put the smallest flake they had. My1:1 had a window just like that. The later trucks have a wider back window. The Robbins truck, was it green? I know that had a green International or 2.
Thanks Spudd!

Thanks Mike! I don't think the vid would work, I would have to beep out all the swearing!:D:D

thanks Terry!

Thanks!
thanks Rod!! Me too!!:cool::cool:

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

I understand completely Brian,there's time's i do the same when something just don't fit right or such, sometimes i can even make a sailor blush:D


Oh by the way....Is it done yet?:D

Mike

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Cant wait for the next update, your builds always amaze me.

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

When this is completed it should be build of the year!

Re: Pete 357 tri-axle dump update 9/13/11 Paint!!!!
 

Brian,
That has to be one the sickest tri axles out there coming along real nice can't wait to see the truck complete. I used to drive a freightliner classic XL with that same big dump body type and you nailed it awsome job.
