THE PROCESS
Here are a few photos of the process if building the truck. I took a herpa beverage truck frame and a Pete 377 from Ilterai and thats where i begin.

THE START
Here is the truck after i added the rear axle and got the frame built up and choose a bunk and such. You can see the boley Peterbilt 377 in the back ground with my touch to it. |

OFF AND RUNNING
You can see the custom front bum0per made from evergrenn plastic that was bent using the old bumper and a lighter. Here is the truck with the front bumper covered in Mylair and chrome trim under the doors. also correct rims were added to the back so they are shiney. I also added full fenders to the rear axle also. Tehy were made from evergreen plastic that i cut using a hax saw blade. I then cut a peice from the bottom and put them around the wheels. They were painted and glued into place. The truck is hooked to another trailer.

OH SO COOL
I have glued the cab on and added a drop visor and finished the bunk almost. I added a rear window and a "CANT DRIVE 55" decal to the rear of the bunk. I have added full fenders and panels to the bottom of the cab and sleeper as trim peices. |

TRAILERS IS ON THE GO
Here are the painted parts of the trailer. They consisit of a herpa/ promotex 48 foot trailer. I then painted it orange and added mylair sodes to represent a stainless steel trailer. I then made a new 2004 Thermo King reefer from evergreen strip and sheet platic and alot of sanding. I then had to make a custom spread asle frame from evergreen plastic due to the fact the truck is so low. I also made full fenders from evergreen plastic tube.
