That is a tight squeeze on the air cleaner lights. Great job Brian.

Love those breather lights and shrouds! Beautiful. I have never seen anyone pull off the Peterbilt look as well as you do, with these Tamiyas. You have become a master modeler.

Oh and everything i have seen and all the new post's too, this is really a very nice and sweet looking ride:D:D can't wait to see more:D:D

Mike

Thanks Mike!! It is a lot of trial and error, and bending, and sanding, and filling, and mock up. This hood doesn't fit as good as my other trucks did. I think because I shortened it. It fits better than the picture shows, the cab is just sitting on the chassis there.

Beautiful truck Brian, imagine what the price would be on such a one of a kind truck like this one, then imagine the line of people waiting to get their hands on one.

Thanks Craig! I'm not sure how to put a $ amount on one, and if you did would any one pay that much> LOL!

Got some more done. Been busy stuffing wires in to the cab! I should have enough room for the vibration unit too. the stock speaker isn't gonna fit though, oh well! I got most of the chrome goodies on the cab and most of the chicken lights are done. Here are some pics, thanks for looking!

Brian, that's has to have turned out even better than you have hoped! It looks like a Wizard came along and shrunk your truck.

Brian I can't say anything about your truck that hasn't been said. It is top shelf and your skill is unmatched on those pete cabs. The bed is one of the best looking custome fab jobs ever. For what its worth I think it is one of my fav. Dump trucks on the board! Good job

Great work Brian, how will you run all those lights? Not directly off the mfu surely?
As always, showing us all how to make a proper peterbilt from the venerable king hauler.

Brian the chicken lights look great on the truck really makes it look agressive. It would be cool if you had them on a switched channel so you could turn them on and off.

WOW!!! What can I say? Other than looking at the chassis you would never know that truck started life as a King Hauler. Would love to see you build a heavy haul tractor next.

I'll get a vid up as soon as the body is on the chassis. I have everything working except for the tailgate latch. It is fighting me:mad::mad:! I have to revamp the leverage to make it work right. I'll use it but I wont get it too dirty! LOL!

Looks like the premise for a new movie, honey I shrunk the Peterbilt. Either that or someone's parked a Peterbilt on some giant's kitchen counter!
I bet this baby will only be hauling clean dirt when it's finished!

Small update here. I build a tool box for the passenger side. The box was 2 foot square. When I scaled it down it was a perfect place for the MFU vibration unit! I also stared the finishing details on the dump body! YAH! I can see the end in sight. Thanks for looking!
