Here's another view of Todd Terpstra's absolutely spectacular Peterbilt 379 and Utility 53' refrigerated trailer (shown in Photo Gallery 78). This view shows the contrasting ice blue and teal paint scheme very well. This model was on display at the 2002 Midwest Meet in Chicago.Todd started with a Herpa cab, scratchbuilding an extended hood to 127" BBC, and replaced the original fenders with new ones made from Evergreen styrene strips. Todd used A-Line fuel tanks and Plano photo-etched mirrors and frame steps. Additional details include custom built air cleaners, large diameter exhaust stacks, single unit headlights, and fuel tank covers on the front ends. The paint job is Testor's Boyd Teal and Ice Blue.
