Custom Peterbuilt 359

Hi all, it's been a long time since I've been around, doing a lot of things and been very busy.
But I have been doing some building when I can, and I thought I'd share it with you guys.
I found this pic on the net and immediately thought, I need to try and replicate it.

So the following is my take on this build.
I've been working on this for about 9 months off and on, and I've also changed styling along the way.
I'm not sure if the paint will really work on my build, we will see.
I'm not going to describe what I've done, I think the pics are pretty self explanatory.
Sorry for the lots of pics. Any questions, ask away.
Cheers

Original starting point...

And now, we begin...

Front guards

The major change of the build

And now some body mods

New battery boxes (designed to use the original mounts)

Engine

Clean up of the underside of the chassis

Rear guards, original designs

Manufacture











So this is where I'm up to. Progress will be slow, but thanks for looking.

looking good so far.

I got to have a look-see at this on the weekend and must say the fuel tank support peg is the nicest I've ever seen!
this will be a serious show stopper when it's finished, keep us posted Kane.

VERY Impressive fabrication work Kane, especially on the rear guards.

Thanks guys. Like I told you Checkers, that peg was the hardest part of the build, tough to replicate...

Nice work on this ,I like the guards you made , look forward to seeing more of this.

VERY NICE ,cant wait until it's finished
