Well, after about 6 months of reading through these forums, desiding what direction I wanted to take and ordering a bunch of parts this is where Im at. My original idea was to just show up in Brookville and hope for a good responce but after rethinking it I desided to share my progress with you guys.

The 1:1 is owned by Kirby Martin out of Gettsburg, PA. Its a 2003 Pete 379.

1986

And this is mine. : )

1987

Only things I still need to get are the MFU and Steves wheels. The sleeper is 46" which is made out of an aluminum poker case I bought at K-mart. Ive been playing around and I think I figuared out how to get a quilted look.

-Brians Battery Boxes
-Russ' Air Ride that I cut down the hangers on a 1/2" it mimic a car hauler suspension
-Russ also made a set of air cleaners for me which are amazing.
-Johns Fenders

I also redid the front suspension by bending the springs to allow the frame to sit lower. Im extremely happy with it so far. Any comments or questions are welcome. Thanks!

From what I can tell from the tiny pictures, it looks just as amazing as the 1:1 does. Nice job.
