White Frightliner DD rebuild (FINISHED)

[mopar]

This is the White Frightliner DD that I built as a day cab back in 2010. It is also the first black and yellow truck that I’ve made into the Super Bee Trucking. After 3 moves there’s to many pieces that have come off to just reattach so I decided to do a rebuild on it. I also have a couple of extra cabs and interior’s in my parts boxes so I’m going to do the head light height correction and shorten the front axle. I’m also going to update the paint to. I’ve started on the head lights correction.

Been working on the rebuild and it seems like when I built this one back in 2010 I didn’t think about cleaning any of the paint off the parts before glueing them together. So just about anything I touch comes apart which is good and bad. The engine just about fell out of it so I was able too repaint it. The front axle also popped off so I’ve shorten it to get the front tires where they should be. The fuel tanks were already off so I’ve repainted them to match the rest of the fleet. I was able to to get the yellow on the cab today. I’m hoping to get the black sprayed before our cold front comes in.

Thanks Stace, I’m making progress on this build I built a new MPC gravel trailer with only 2 axles instead of the 3 that the kit has. Still have some details to finish up on the Frightliner. Thanks for everyone’s comments I appreciate them.
