Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nice job on the hinges. Mike (Dreamweaver) did a great job on the J Pete hinges. I have used the small brass ones from Lowes (I got lazy with that) on all 4 of my Pete builds. I have had no problems either. Keep up the great work!

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Small update, I know the 1:1 Triple 3 has a black frame but I just have a thing for painted to match frames, so I painted mine to match. LOL.
[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] For now I went the easyway out, and used a R2 trans. But I did add a 4:1 at least. I am trying to keep as much room as possible in the cab for MFU, light controls and a wet kit. [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
With your wet kit what pump are you using for this build and are those the PMD oil tanks you have on the truck, truck looks great so far can not wait to see it finished.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Nice work, Kaf! I like how you fit the Cat engine, and figured out your steering, with a relocated servo. Just a little suggestion for you though. On the bell crank beneath the engine, for steering, I'd try to find a way to use a rod end with metal swivel ball so that your steering doesn't get all sloppy. I'd also put one on the servo.

Nicely thought out build. I like the shift servo setup and the tilt hinge is nice and neat. Good work!

Great Job Keith! I see in the 1 photo there is a 1:1 Pete hood getting some color thrown down.

Re: Tilt nose 379 Pete triple 3, I hope
Thanks Big John, appriciate it.
Thanks Brian, Yes its a 389 I believe. I shot this truck at my buddies shop where he was repairing a car carrier that was only three months old and the driver who never even scratched a bumper hit a base of a light pole in a snow covered parking lot. it just about ripped the front axle out of it. For me it was awesome to see the truck up close as I have no experiance what so ever with these rigs as far as 1:1's go. |
