Looks pretty good. Is that a kit trailer you are using, or is it scratchbuilt?

I like the color & your trailer murals are very cool. Are those the kit seats (highly modified) or are they aftermarket seats?
Keep up the good work & post more photos.

Keep up the good work & post more photos. they are off the older California hauler kit i got from a buddy . I used it for part's. when I build another rig that will be the kit to get has a bunch of real good detail. that's the kit i should of started with.

THANKS GUY'S.... ONCE THIS IS DONE I WILL START LOOKING FOR THE OLD CALIFORNIA HAULER RIG. AND SEE WHAT I CAN DO WITH THAT OR WHAT DO YOU GUY'S THINK WOULD BE A GOOD RIG TO BUILD?. I GOT A REAL NICE KENWORTH T600A JUST SITTING HERE THAT KEEPS ON LOOKING AT ME . I WAS THINKING OF A FULL CRAZY CUSTOM FENDER FLAIR'S WITH AN ALL OUT RADICAL CUSTOM PAINT AND BODY MODS. CHOPPED, CHANNELED, AND ROLLED.. ANTHONY R.

GOOD GRIEF! This is an awesome build. And you did it with a model few like to work with. (Revell USA, Peterbilt) I can't wait to see this finished. GOOD MOVIE, TOO!

I wouldn't say few like to work with this model. All the one's I've seen turn out really nice. Well, mine turned out ok, but that's beside the point. As for the AMT KW T600, there are some problems with this kit that I've heard other modelers gripe about. I haven't had the "pleasure" of building it yet, but it's on the list! Anyway, from what I've heard the fit isn't all that great, and it's a 1990's truck on a 1970's chassis with a 1970's engine. You might want to check out public.fotki.com/modeltrucks25thscale/model_magazine_articles/car_modeller/ for some "updating" ideas as well. If you KW T600 turns out like your Peterbilt 359, then it should be awesome! Looking forward to your future build.
