Pete with Style
 

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. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps93e8049a.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psfa3ffb43.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psaf76dba4.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...psd1acf21e.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...ps424f6f92.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...pse9d7690d.jpg

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

Re: Pete with Style
 

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

Re: Pete with Style
 

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.

Re: Pete with Style
 

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.

Re: Pete with Style
 

B-U-T-FUL!!! Congrats on the new addition.:cool::cool::cool:

Re: Pete with Style
 

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.
Thanks John. I'm really liking this one.

Re: Pete with Style
 

How about a covered wagon? Don't see many guys build them.

Re: Pete with Style
 

good to see that 1 come back on here

Re: Pete with Style
 

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.

Re: Pete with Style
 

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

Re: Pete with Style
 

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!

Re: Pete with Style
 

Thanks Aaron. I still have a few things to do to it.
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.

Re: Pete with Style

Re: Pete with Style
 

Thanks Susan! That black pete of yours is a stunning build for sure!
Thanks Dewayne! Opening the box was great.The wait was horrible, must of checked the tracking a 100 time.lol.
Thanks Alfy! Just trying to keep up with you! Glad I got it.Wanted it from day 1.
Thanks Buddy! This truck is decked out for sure!

Re: Pete with Style
 

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.

Re: Pete with Style
 

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

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? :D;). Lol

Very nice addition to the fleet man!

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