Project 379 Pete with 60" Stand up ..

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well I got the bone stock King Hauler all blown apart..


And first I started on adding the True Scale RC Drop Axle to give it a lower stance..



Then built up a chassis using True Scale RC rails and cross members and hanger bearing cross member with a 20/22 Work drop bumper for the front.




Then it was time for a new body keeping the bone stock one piece I started with a new cab and hacked it up.




Then put it back together with a True Scale RC 379 Pete hood and fenders and using a stand up top from PMD I built the sleeper with 2 doors because the truck I am copying has a stand up with 2 sleeper doors and no rivets so them will be removed.



And adding a grill shell and louvered insert and air cleaners from True Scale RC also..

Looking good Paul! How do those true-scale hoods attach to the truck? Do you glue them to the cab with some backer pieces or are they set up to be hinged?

Quick transformation and great how to for us rookies. Is that sleeper top a custom item or in PMD's store?
