Well Boys.... And girls here is my wifes first rc semi truck. We go to 4 truck shows a year and run the trucks around for the promoters as a attraction for the people at the shows we even pull some signage around for other vendors at the show. Well my wife has always supported the rc hobby and has went to meets but last year was her first year to go with us to a show and after about 2hrs of walking around with me and the boys she just could not take it anymore she had to drive and it was all down hill for there. She spent a little more than 6hrs driving one day she loved it so much.

Well that day she said she wanted her own truck and from that time she started picking out features and styles out that she liked and i started buying parts $$$ :D She has spendy taste LOL!! Well I promised that she would have her truck in a year for the first show and next weekend is are first show we are set to be at this year.

I did not do a build thread but I have some build picks i will post at the end. I had my great friend Stylin and Profilin do the body and paint since we have been blessed with so much work this year and he is a out standing painter and body builder to boot I just did not have time and I am glad he really killed it! Thanks Jon!!

Also there are many many great custom parts on this truck for alot of great parts builders.

Wheels/Fuel tanks and Air Cleaners and front box bumper. IHBUILDER
Body/paint and Stacks/Hump Fenders Stylin n Profilin
Fuel tanks holders and custom rear bumper Russislouad
True Scale Shocks Dreamweaver
Light bezel in the back of the sleeper and bumper Tc1cat
True Scale Frame Rails Freddygeardrive
Peterbilt Style Steps Brian in PA

The rest was me. witch was not much LOL!! :eek:

Anyways here it is Ill get some out door picks tomorrow I hope we have had pretty crappy weather here. Also there is a matching trailer too. I still have Peterbilt emblems to put on it this week when they come in and sound and light kit..

I would like to THANK Jon for his time and skills and to all the custom parts builders for sharing there skills and parts with all of us in the hobby... Thanks Much Guys..

Now paul your wife will be a show stopper with that truck she has a real beauty in here hands:D
Just one thing you better take both rear fenders off and repaint them before the fashion police see the unpainted part in the middle of the fenders :D

Becky,

I'm glad to see it took a women's touch to get all these males to understand the concept of a custom show truck............Great eye and concept. Paul you should be blessed to have someone in the house that knows what she is taliking about and allowed you to open up your wallet and do it right..................

It goes to show how much this hobby has grown in the last few yrs and with this forum that has allowed guys the chace to use their skills to produce parts that have been discribed in this thread is AWESOME. It is great to see all the different skills brought together to produce the truck that we see in front of us.

Becky great job and look forward to seeing it in person at Hubbard. I always liked the trailer you have also it looks great with a orange suit now......................

Wow. I like that! Great looking truck, in every respect. I'm not crazy about the fuel tank mounts, but everything else looks beautiful. Lucky wife, you have. Her truck's paint job looks better then about 90% of the trucks on this forum. No fair! :D

Have to agree with everything else said already but that is one beautiful truck Paul. She should be very proud of her new truck. It will fit in nicely with the rest I do believe.

Thanks everyone! I love my truck!! Paul and Stylin and Profilin did a fantastic job of putting my "wants" together to make a beautiful truck!! I can't wait to drive it! Of course, Paul is already talking about building a matching truck. (He can't stand ME having the better rig!!) I guess we will end up with a fleet!! Thanks again everyone!! More pics to follow.......

I think you said it best. The parts that are now available and the creative ideas in this hobby are leagues ahead of where they were even two years ago.

AND the combination of John's painting skills and your building skills, this truck is one to be very proud of. Nice work fellahs!:cool:

x2. The hobby has really evolved leaps & bounds in just a few short yrs with talented individuals starting to surface with epic builders skill.

Trick paint job, perfectly executed John! :cool:

Nice looking rig Paul and Bewitched.
Excellent work Jon and... the part guys. ;3
Well, at innitial glance my reaction was "guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... nice truck"
I would assume that Bewitched's reaction was much of the same. :D

Lucky Lady Bewitched what a Sweet Ride you have!

Thanks for the great comments guys.. Neil it is a stock pete fleet color nothing special but a very sweet looking color..

Also I went to a real truck show the first weekend in June we go every year and drive trucks around the show with sings on the trailers for the promoter and this year we got a trophy for Show n Shine for the group of trucks I brought. The trophy was voted on my the drivers at the show that are members of SDTA. We did not even enter in the show I thought it was pretty cool..
