Sweeet! I always loved the looks of those bullet-nose ( bubble-nose?) Petes. You never see them around anymore, probably for good reason :).

I drove an H model Mack for a year or so; sort of like that, but not a Pete. Petes were much nicer.

Good build. The train horns are a nice touch -- they help keep the lane clear next to you.

Thank you. The train horns do make an impression when the unexpecting hear them!

Finished this build a few weeks ago. Cab is from AITM, chassis and big stick wrecker are from the AMT kit. The rear wheels, hubs, and tires are 3D printed along with the train horns and spare tires. I need to find the door handles though, can’t seem to find them anywhere. I added the single exhaust and air intake from the International  cabover kit for something different. 

Great looking rig!

Man that is absolutely gorgeous! Great scratch building skills. 

Great kitbash. Love what you did here. The little details set off the build. 

Another great build. The weathering is spot on. 

I really like the color combo, they go together well. Great looking truck!

Now that’s cool!

Great looking build. 

Excellent work all around, Brian!

Great idea for the exhaust pipes 

Used to see a lot of these when I hauled steel out of Ryerson. 

Looks great. 

Saweet build! Great  job!

Great looking build Charles. I really like how you built the boom. Impressive!

Great looking bills, Brian! Love the plumbing too! 

Really sharp looking build! The colors go together well. You can find the material in a few different places. Evergreen.com, Hobby Lobby, and plastruct are a few places to start. Hope that helps.

Nice clean work, Brian.  Decals look great!

Thank you. The decals really tested my patients.
