Smile Heres My New Project...Cat CT660

It is no secret that I am a Die Hard Pete fan.They are the Holy Grail to the Trucking world (just my opinion , The Cat Engine was undoubtedly One of the best.... Now Paccar has replaced them, and as a Homage to the Cat Engines and Cat Line I have decided to do one of their trucks with a Little "Exclusive" Flair.... It has been on my mind forever and for those of you who know me on a personal level, know that ive been sketching and planning this for a long time, I am cool with the Guys over at Foley Caterpillar and they are allowing me to go there and spend the day with them going over details and taking pics and Measurements for accuracy... The president also requested a Non RC version to put on his desk I will be scratch building this and implementing some 3d Printed Parts as well with the help of a designer friend of mine... who knows maybe I might even make these a complete print and offer it to you guys as a kit..... only time will tell, and trust me the DETAILS will show!...

Operation Cat CT660 "Catrina"

What's with the yellow one? I have never seen one with rounded fenders like that. Lighter duty truck? Should be an easy build for you! Can't wait to see it.

If I recall correctly, the yellow one is the first cat truck offered in Australia and was way before we saw the trucks that are on northamerican soil.

I believe the yellow one is a Navistar Prostar with a Cat grille and badging.

I remember seeing pictures of that truck back in 2010 on my work email. We all said it looked like a navistar at the time. Then we now have the truck you see today.

If you ask me , all they did is take the navistar sweeping lines and squared them up a bit??? and yet it creates a different look ?

To be honest my latest dump truck build is supposed to be a low budget spare parts build but I have already thought about how cool it would be to have a CT660 in our S&M trucking fleet ....

I Believe one of every brand truck would be a great addition to my fleet... And one day it will happen but it's hard when I'm one guy working on multiple projects and making sure I take care of my customers. The wheels are always spinning in my mind to make things bigger and better but my hands can only work so fast lol... ALL of my builds are complete (in my mind) now it's time to make them a reality!

It's been a while but I got some new inspiration between talking to Mario and taking a trip down to Foley Caterpillar and getting a bunch of pics and help from the guys out there the build is alive and will be unveiled at the June show in jersey.... At least that's the game plan lol...


So I started with an aeromax because I thought it would be the closest..... Yea right I was in for a rude awakening.... Ordered a ton of body parts and glass and interior to not be able to use any of it as I was only able to use the top part of the hood, and grill (which was later removed anyway..) then I realized it was right under my nose all along with the cab as it was very similar to a king hauler with obvious modifations so i butchered one up and scratch built the rest, this is the Frankenstein I got going on so far....










Def a headache to mold fender and make an exact mirror of each other, but with some cursing I got it done...



On to the grill



And the **** bumper lol





Tons more to do but he's def taking shape!

Thank you, and pay molds I think your referring to the grill area?.... If so it does look a bit narrow in that angle but when it's all finished an painted it will be on the money...
