Jim Groeneweg built this Freightliner Coronado day cab customized to a "retro look" using a long wheelbase chassis and a Peterbilt flat top 42" sleeper. The tool /step boxes where shortened and scratchbuilt running boards added to a Herpa Ford Aeromax chassis. The cab is a resin cast item with all the Siku details (bumper/grille/breathers) items utilized with the resin cab and a Peterbilt 42" sleeper bunk cut off a Peterbilt 378 SBFA model. Wheels and tires are from Dennis Aust., Mirrors, exhaust stacks, mudflap/tail light bar stainless steel light panel below bunk, deck plate and antennas are scratchbuilt. The half fenders are modified Kibri full fenders. The unit is finished in base/clear coat red black, gold and white auto paint. Chrome is a combination of BareMetalFoil and Alclad.
