Hello truckbuilders,here`s another die-cast from revell. The pete is okay so far,just many dust anywhere on it.  First thing was to demount it(hope used the right word).  Stickers taken away,next step is to clean it allover.  |

i think all you may want to do is polish the paint back out where you pulled the stickers off and maybe another coat of clear and polishing and mount it back together and you can call that one done cause pete's look really awsome in straight black!!!

I like the idea of an all black truck. But I think I would leave just a little bit of chrome, but over
sprayed with semi gloss or dull coat. Especially the stacks!

Good morning truckbuilders,here`s some progress on her. New stack on right side. What do U think about this?  Here U can see the length difference.  Painted the bumper black and painted the lights.By the way,must there be a number plate on U.S.-Truckzz?  |

Moin zusammen,das originale rohr von dem linken schalldämpfer wurde abgeflext. Die neue rohre etwas gekürzt.Gut so? Farbe kommt noch,bin mir noch nicht einig ob die schwarzglänzend oder silbern lackiert werden.  So siehts von hinten aus.  |

Nice rebuild. The straight black definitely sparkles. Keep up the great work.
