DrKerry Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks gents, had a minor set back today with it. Went to a build and bull with the guys two towns over and on the way out the door I dropped the box with the chassis in it. Blew the engine out of it and the wheels off of it!!! Irked me pretty good but it went back together easy enough, got the fifth wheel on it today as well... sanded the tanks and got them ready for primer then paint!!! Working on this til parts come back for the Pete wrecker.... hoping to get this done before!!!!!! This will be done in Sunoco livery and will have the Lindberg tanker behind it when done!!!!!!
disabled modeler Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Looks nice buddy..! I wonder where you could have ever found Sunoco decals for the tanker trailer...
DrKerry Posted July 23, 2017 Author Posted July 23, 2017 Looks nice buddy..! I wonder where you could have ever found Sunoco decals for the tanker trailer... Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I think Santa Claus is dropping them off at my house!!!!! Yeah, that's it!!!!! Lol
disabled modeler Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I think Santa Claus is dropping them off at my house!!!!! Yeah, that's it!!!!! LolLOL..! Could you ask him to stop by here when hes done...LOL...!
DrKerry Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 LOL..! Could you ask him to stop by here when hes done...LOL...!What?? Thought he was there already!!!! LOL
DrKerry Posted July 27, 2017 Author Posted July 27, 2017 Rescribed panel lines, fuel tanks are painted, fifth wheel is on..... it's getting there!!!!!!!
DrKerry Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 Looking good Kerry. Did you open the hood?Hey Dan, no I left the hood closed. I thought about opening it up but didn't want to put that much detail in this one. It has the engine in it but kept plain just so if anyone looks under it it's there.... I looked at it as I was rescribing the panel lines and noticed the side panels behind the grille angle back and it's straight up and down at the cowl. Meaning it would of been hard to lift the hood off unless I split the sides and made it a three piece hood.... Or reworked the back edge of the grille.... Thanks for the kudos on it though, much appreciated...
misterNNL Posted August 23, 2017 Posted August 23, 2017 Good choice Kerry.I love the fact that you're building a vehicle from the '40's instead of a more modern vehicle.Thanks for sharing!
DrKerry Posted August 25, 2017 Author Posted August 25, 2017 Good choice Kerry.I love the fact that you're building a vehicle from the '40's instead of a more modern vehicle.Thanks for sharing!Thanks Tom, appreciate it... just pulled this one up yesterday and took the cab to work. Fitting interior into it now and sanded the body to prep for paint... this doesn't need a ton to finish it so maybe I can get it done
misterNNL Posted August 25, 2017 Posted August 25, 2017 I think it's a shame that more of the vehicles from that decade are not available to builders.I am probably prejudiced there as I was born in '42.As a result of the war there are probably fewer surviving vehicles from that decade that any other in history.Goof luck with your build,I'll be following along.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 26, 2017 Posted August 26, 2017 Good looking truck. A lot of these were still in service when I was a id, and that's pretty much what I think of as "truck". Nice work so far.
DrKerry Posted August 26, 2017 Author Posted August 26, 2017 Thanks Tom and Bill!!!! I need to find a color blue close to what I want. It'll be done up as a Sunoco fuel truck when done. I'm planning on the tanker from the Lindberg kit behind it!!!!
blackbeard Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Sounds like a plan check navy blue or royal blue
gatorincebu Posted August 27, 2017 Posted August 27, 2017 Kerry, That is looking good. I like those old trucks. The bring back memories of growing up in the 50's and 60's. Be Well Gator
DrKerry Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 Pics stink but it has paint on it now.... fenders and running boards are yellow now too!!! Those pics coming soon. I know the paint isn't period correct but it's all I had here..... it is metallic paint!!!
DrKerry Posted September 3, 2017 Author Posted September 3, 2017 Gettin' closer!!!!!! Messed the paint in the fenders trying to keep the windshield in it while glue dried but!!??
Mopar - D Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 I like your paint job those colors look good on her.
disabled modeler Posted September 4, 2017 Posted September 4, 2017 Nice buddy...! We all need older rigs to build.
DrKerry Posted September 4, 2017 Author Posted September 4, 2017 Thanks gents, and yes it is going to be in Sunoco livery!!!!!!!
blackbeard Posted September 5, 2017 Posted September 5, 2017 Now you got to the Suncoo gas tanker to go along with the truck
DrKerry Posted September 5, 2017 Author Posted September 5, 2017 Thanks Henry and Jeff!!!!!!!!Henry it will end up with the Lindberg tanker behind it with Sunoco livery on it!!!!!
