359 Pete Snao kit

About 8 years ago an old friend passed away. She built model trucks, and had a nice collection of original issues that she had done from the 70's and 80's. We would talk models when we got together. After she passed, her husband gave me her collection. This one she was working on when she got sick. the chassis was finished and about half the interior. I finished it up, bought a trailer kit, had custom graphics made and here it is.

Very nice combo, Sam.

Great job Sam and a fitting tibute to your friend. I'm sure she would love it.

Very nice looking truck.

Cool truck, awesome memory.

Great tribute build Sam! This truck is very striking and very pleasing to look at! She's smiling down and saying "Job well done Sam." 8)

Looks awesome man she would be proud

Thanks guys, The move was not to friendly on the trailer, but the tractor survived and is in the display case. I also have all her old builds that need restoration, carefully packed away.

I know the feeling Sam. I lost a good friend beginning of this year. I,ve repaired a few up to now and the rest are packed away safe and sound. You done that rig and the lady proud mate.
GOOD ONE. 001
