*Applause*

Cheers

Pip

P.S: The central position light seems to be off.

[dabears]

Those are great pics! I wish you were around still when we took the cabover group pic. It would have been sweet!

Tranny is by RCchannel, it also has 4:1 reduction from rc4wd

[Claus]

Very nice truck. I like these fenders best.

[dabears]

How do you like that trans? Does it only have the one gear?

[gun]

Nice job on the 352! I have a new globe liner in the box and some parts from Steve ( ihb) grill,tanks,wheels, bumper & stacks from John S&P and have been wanting to build a 352 Pete but now that I see yours I'm going to get to work and hope it comes out half as good as yours .

[Bigrigger]

Nice looking truck! I love the fuel tanks and tilt cab! It's about 400 rivets cooler than any other Globe I've seen! :D

[Joule1]

Tranny comes with 3 pinions so u can play with your gearing.
I have it installed with 4:1 reduction and a silver can, pulled 60lb trailer without a problem, sounds good to since I don't have sound unit;)

Thx, I'm sure it will come oute nice :) just take your time, I think that crucial part is to move the front axel to give it a proper look

[petermoblin]

Killer looking truck. The detail is second to none.:cool:

[404]

I just registered on this forum to say, AMAZING work! This is the best truck I have ever seen, now you just need a set of 10 hole alcoas and you are set:)

[Grainfarmer]

Fantastic! Looks great...!

[Claus]

Awesome truck.

I just bought one of those transmissions, anxious to see how things work out with it in my truck.

[cabrover]

Excellent work!!:cool:It was a real head turner at Indy, and it was a pleasure meeting you there too!!:cool: Keep up the great work!!:cool:

Tim

[6wheelking]

Nice job, really like the exhaust :D

[BRICKNICK]

This thing is a work of art, I'm interested in what you used to make the exhaust brackets, are those black brackets from an aeromax or custom made? I think the only thing that could make this truck look any closer too a real full sized Pete is a set of Steves (IH Builder) aluminum alcoa style rims. Awesome job on an awesome build.

[crawler07]

yea this truck is just perfect..

[404]

Could we get some more pictures? I'm getting bored of the few I keep staring at:)

Thank U, exhaust brackets are from Aeromax kit:).
Since that was a budget project I couldn't afford Steves rims, but maybe in the future.

[Diesel Demond]

An international I think, that is what the grill matches anyway

[Claus]

Wonder what ever happened to this guy and His truck, was looking forward to more great builds.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

He is just working in the twin city's I see him once a year at a truck show we do last I knew he had some parts together to build another truck.

[Berman]

Thanks for refreshing this thread, some of us newer guys would otherwise miss out on seeing an epic build like this! Talented guy and beautiful 352! :eek:

[Claus]

Still one of the best looking cabovers around the site.
