Re: "SLUMLORD" pic's...finally
 
Im in two mind about this the twin tanks looks good but then it hides the stretch and the light bar in front of the wheels witch most guys want to show.
Maybe if your keeping the twin tanks a cat walk over them could improve the look or scrap them the kit ones / bat box and get two custom tanks and keep the tool box between thiem with one long skirting board, that way the Alu blends in from the a55 to the front.
Then sink the battery between the frame rails to keep it clean & tidy and polish the heat shield so it all shines...
But over all it starting to come together now with the custom parts and tyre lettering,
Love those freightliner wheels are they left and right specific ??

Well I think i'm changing my mind.;)

Tracy, i'm thinking more towards having some tanks made, and having them a little longer. I knew all I had to do was ask.:D And yes, the wheels are left and right. I don't think there's nothing Steve can't handle.:eek::D:cool:

Thankyou, but if you go to the start of this thread, you'll see who painted it, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on it...and a matching tanker trailer to boot.:D:D:D
