Not sure how sturdy the hood is but, I used a fiberglass hood before and rhino lined the inside. Didn't add much weight but added strength. Like the build.
thanks for staying with one project . i would watch anyway for the entertainment .the parts counterman is even up on your channel . good stuff Westin .
I love it, ya'll boys keep up the great job and I can't wait to see it when it's finished but I do enjoy watching ya'll working!! God Bless you all and the Pete!!
You guys look like you're having so much fun with this fine rebuild. But if you're not enjoying your work, then you're doing it all wrong. I can't wait to see this Peterbuilt finished. My big thing is anything airplanes, but I love seeing anything restored.
Damn.....love watching ya'll! The passion and the fun....makes me miss the days when I was out there strolling along in my W900L...and later on in my big black Freightliner XL w/84" sleeper....those were the days....can't wait to see what it's gonna look like when ya'll are done!
Thanks for the Video.....Wow your Peterbilt is sure coming along nicely...The sleeper turned out just stunning. I do love the color. I bet you have enough paint left to paint that hood. Its going to be a real keeper.
Beautiful, nice showroom look. I guess you decided to paint the new hood on the truck rather than stand alone. Probably a smart move to avoid scratches mounting it.
Hey Westen, You are turning out these videos at a rapid rate. I enjoy you and your work ethic very much. Most men your don't know what work is. They like to sit around all night and play video games and sleep in the day time. Congrats to you young man. You are the hardest working 21 year old that I have seen in my nearly 75 years on this planet. Keep it up and you will go far. I will be watching.
I should be learning for my exams… but I got kinda addicted to this lovely dude. I don’t even care about semis… but his excitement is just so resonating. Now I want one to. Greetings from switzerland buddy :)) keep it up
Bro I don't own a truck of any kind but I love you bringing that 379 back to where it was and more. I'm into cars, but my cousin, God rest her soul,was a trucker. She had had a black peterbilt 352 "pacemaker", and hauled all over this country before selling that cabover and succumbing to cancer. Keep doing what you do bro.
I'm dying at the idea of Westen watching Cleetus McFarland. XD You guys need to team up for something to take down to the drag strip. How about that cummins mustang?
Fiberglass? Not a fan. The fiberglass hood on my dad’s f650 broke twice from a tire blow out, knocking out a large section each time. We were lucky enough to find a cheap used one the first time and fix the first one through another deal. They are way more expensive than they should ever be. Maybe semi hoods are better but make sure you run high quality, lower mile tires up front.
I can’t wait for the next video till the end of this project, please upload the rest of the videos if the project is done. And thank you for making this, it inspired me!
I do. Loved that show wish it was still in. I've seen them in person & coming down 43 hwy heading to petro with a guy on the outside of the truck on both sides. I even have all of their autographs. They actually wrote their names on paper for me
I think that was one of the best car or truck fix up shows. None of the unnecessary drama and stuff, just the trucks and the incredible work that they did on them.
Found this channel 2 days ago I got to tell you I just love it and I'm in my and don't know shit about trucks but I love them from a young age I'm 52 so if I ever leave my and retire I'm getting one .good job boys I will not miss a video I'm hooked
Never did I think ole Cleetus McFarland and westen would be referenced together. But hell yeah brother the peterbilt pulling Leroy or ruby then racing Each other hoodless
Hands down Bob is my favorite piece of equipment you own! I love when you start it and have to get the Gogo juice every time. But, bob always starts and get the job done! Unless it’s cold. Then good thing you have the kobata lol
You're supposed to spray the starting fluid into the air cleaner while it's being started, not just before it's going to be started. That way it sucks it right in a good amount when it needs it. It's a 2 person job. Good thing it had a good battery the way you did it.
I got to say Weston y'all have made some darn good videos. I got to say I absolutely love the comment about the mister Quixote officer you don't need no hood. I look forward to seeing more of your videos I love your content love how you just Dive Right In and just go for it love the videos
My only question is why didn't you wait to paint the sleeper until you had the hood and paint them both at the same time or spray the whole truck so it all matches.
Have to paint in between the sleeper and cab area. Paint will match aok. My guess is he will Paint the cab and Hood next. Probably just test fitting the hood now.
Yes, however where there is normal wear behind the day cab he will want to re-Paint it so that it’s nice n’ shiny to match the newly painted sleeper and soon to be painted hood
Bob needs engine upgrade lol And Big blue needs bigger turbo :p Looking good. I assume you’ll be painting her blue next and adding PeterBuilt deco later. Wouldn’t be easer to paint it before you put it on? Keep up good work :)
you singing got the like. i never make it more than 2 minutes into your videos before i click like. you are the best Westen. just a good ole boy, kind soul that people just gravitate to. wish there were more Westen's in the world.
A nieghbor has an old Mack semi sitting in his yard. It was his first truck bought in 1969. They were poor then so it had to already be old. everytime we go by I ask my brother if that thing wouldn't make a great pickup truck. Have you thought of making a pickup truck out of an old truck or semi for your next project? I think we-all audience members would love following you doing it!
I like your stuff youngen! From an old man of three quarters of a century that's been doing for most all them years that's saying sumptang. Carry on, I'll be watching you! Dr. D
