Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )
staring at this thing , an Idea to be different with a wedico pete popped into my head and I just had to see how it would look
 It's a little rough but just a mock up so I know how I want to proceed . I think I'm liking the 379xth look ( I think ) Now new fenders or needed and diffinately a new grill also a new scale front axle to get the hight right thats not going to happen anytime soon as I got enough on my plate  when I make the actual hood it'll be in 3 pieces panel glued and rivited ( not p rivets either ) .    thanks for looking aaand more gray hairs till next time

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )
Aha, excellent. New and different. Another name company name suggestion, "R.C. Crapper"
You guys do realise that the modern flush toilet was actually revolutionised by a John Crapper? Hence where the phrase comes from.

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )
Looks good Steve. May I suggest that you lower the fenders a bit though.

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )
Wow Steve, nobody but you would attempt body work on a metal cab wedico! And I always wondered to myself if anyone had ever attempted converting the wedico 359 to a 379. This may be a world premiere! If you're making this into a long nose pete, are you still gonna make it a poop truck?? New fenders, long hood, lower axle... Sounds like a large car to me!

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )
yea , still a pumper but not sure on keeping the wedi chassis
I was toying with doing this before I even got a hold of a wedi it's nothing new to me I remade a lot of old IH rusted out body pannels . I'm not sure I'll be the only 1 but I'm only doing this once . I thought about making a die , but for just this 1 , I'm going with the hammer and sand bag route . I might make a mini english wheel though

Re: Project : Petico (Pepe Le Pew )
Hey Steve, have you considered cutting the mold & die via cnc, and using a hydraulic press to crunch out the pieces? My neighbor's make there mold's out of hardwood for 1 time use, or aluminum for multi use. Market for the corn binder's?
Later, Neil. Last edited by doodlebug; 11-26-2011 at 09:51 PM.

1 of them is 3 cabs in 1 + new hammered back corners the 1st 1 I ran I put 3 549 gassers in then converted it over to diesel with a 466B then rebuilt that motor before the frame rotted through at the tandems its now a single axle . still has the best cab in the fleet next to my 2070A . the 3 cabs in 1 has yet to get back together My dad is hoping to put it on a s1900 frame before he passes to put my 1st back together , to complete the old fleet . If he doesn't I will in my spare time
