Turning Scrap into Optimus Prime: 6 Months Rebuilding a Peterbilt 379 Monster Truck

I dedicated six demanding months to rebuilding an iconic Peterbilt 379 monster truck, taking it from a severely damaged, forgotten machine and turning it into a powerful creation inspired by Optimus Prime.

The restoration begins with a Peterbilt 379 in critical condition — corroded body panels, failing mechanical systems, worn components, and years of abandonment. What initially appears unsalvageable becomes the starting point for an ambitious monster truck revival. Piece by piece, this classic American rig is reconstructed, strengthened, and brought back to life.

Over the course of six months, every core system is rebuilt from the chassis upward. The engine is fully reworked, the drivetrain reinforced, suspension enhanced, and the massive frame upgraded to withstand true monster truck performance. The exterior overhaul completes the transformation, delivering an Optimus Prime–inspired design that turns the Peterbilt 379 into a moving emblem of power, heritage, and engineering skill.

This project goes beyond a standard rebuild — it is a large-scale, cinematic restoration blending heavy mechanical work, detailed craftsmanship, and deeply satisfying transformation sequences. From corrosion removal and custom fabrication to final assembly and the reveal, each phase reflects commitment, precision, and passion.

If you’re drawn to monster trucks, classic Peterbilt restorations, extreme rebuild projects, and legendary machines brought back from ruin, this video was created for you.
