[blitzk]

Hippy, that bumper looks awesome!!! Gonna be a sweet lookin Globe. Keep the pics coming.

[cabs]

looks great so far, I'm still messin with mine

[tc1cat]

Nice start!! The King frame is much closer to actual than the Globe frame. Globe frame is much better suited for a day cab King in my opinion. Any color choice yet???

[hippy]

thanks all!

tc1cat ya she will be allied van lines orange. got a few mods that need to be done to the cab to make her look like a pete, and then the drome box will be built.

[dabears]

Ok you know ill be watching this one! What did you use on your bumper? Is that the bare metal foil stuff? Looks good either way

[hippy]

thank you sir!

i picked up a roll of chrome tape from an auto supply shop here in town. they use this stuff for accent trims on their custom rides. 13$ for 50 feet.

[hippy]

little more work done.

[Diesel Demond]

great modifications. looks good!

[hood]

Never been a huge fan of cab overs but i'm really starting to come around, i love the look from the front with yhat big bumper!

[540-MAN]

Looking good mate how did you get the chrome on the front bumper? Thinking of building a bullbar for my knight hauler out of brass so I can solder it together but would really like to chrome it after.

[hippy]

thank you sirs!

540-man: i picked up a roll of chrome tape from an auto supply shop here in town. they use this stuff for accent trims on their custom rides. 13$ for 50 feet. but being you are making out of brass, any local chrome plate shop can chrome it for you, or you can also try electroplating it yourself with the kits they now sell. they are cheap kits too.

[Stuff]

looking good!

[hippy]

thanks bud.

[1985 kenworth]

starting to take shape there

[hippy]

thank you sir.

[hippy]

ok so some filling, sanding, and lots of repeating to get to primer mode.

[MACK Daddy]

Making nice progress...looks good

Alfy

[Lmackattack]

Looking real good. I have a globe cab that I started making I to a 352 Pete...I need to move on it...

Question...are those head light indents on the front a little on the small side? I see a lot of guys that build the pete and KW cab overs and the lights they use look a little bigger?

[hippy]

thank you gents.
Lmackattack, ya they are a little smaller then usual, using 4 5mm leds for the lights and didn't want to look too out of place. she should look like a 1982 1/2 352 pete.

[hippy]

beautiful day here today. +19c. sunny and i home intime to enjoy it. ok. canadain in hand, smoke in other. huh. good day to bring out the petes and snap a few.
