    My parents owned the cafe part of a truck stop when I was a kid, then after I got a "real" job after high school I started out driving mixer trucks before switching to end dumps. And that's where I've been for the last 40 years. As for the truck building, that started after I got my first 359 Pete model for a birthday present way back in the late '60s.

    Glad to have you with us.  Please share some images of your builds and that 50+ years of building experience.

    Looks good so far. Are you going to re-do the doors on the sleeper to the newer style with the rounded corners?

    Thanks and yes sir.  I'm also going to add the panel below the cab and extend the sleeper sides at the bottom to match.  The cab panel and sleeper extension is in the image below along with a Vortex air cleaner that I am working on.

  3. I backtracked quite a bit on the hood due to a couple of issues.  1. Although I mounted them in the same place as they were on the A model hood, they were too high.  2.  The headlight pods were not symmetrical.   The hood sides were made taller, two 3d printed fenders were added, a 3D printed grill was added and other minor tweaks were made.  Here's what it looks like now, almost ready to prime, sand and paint.

    Excellent work. You have done a fine job on this conversion. Is this going to turn into a whole truck, or just the hood for now? 

    Thanks!  Definitely a complete truck and hopefully many additional hoods.
