Peterbilt rebuild
 

Here are some pics as it evolved.
I will be rebuilding this truck soon.....I'm not happy with it at all.
I will change some things including color and so on.

Troy, I remember you showing this truck off on Scale 4x4. I can't really see a reason for you to be unhappy with it. I think it looks sweet. Even in the photos, dressed in primer it looks cool. What are you wanting to change with the truck? The chop sure looks clean.

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Troy your truck looks great I like it a lot. Ed

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

I was never a very big fan of chopped trucks but I gotta say... this one looks sweet. It's too bad she is going to literally go under the chopping block soon but you should have a truck that makes ya happy. Maybe you should sell this one on evilbay or the like and start from scratch with a new truck?

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

were did you get your peterbilt style headlights from?

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

The lights are off of a Newbrite(spellcheck) harley davidson rc motorcycle,and pmd lights mixed together and modified.

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Awesome!Great idea! I've been looking for some to put on the truck that im in the process of putting together... Thanks

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

I'm always looking at things I see every day and trying to figure out how I can modify it to fit my truck some how...lol:D

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Troy the green and black looks good I don't think the blue set it off much but a darker blue may work. Ed

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

I think your trucks great the way it is!!

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Hi sneaky-pete,

I'll second, that nothing bets black & aluminium/chrome look weather its on trucks, cars or bikes.

Cheers Cossett

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Troy I have one suggestion if I may. Why don't you leave it black and spray some blue pearl over it and you will have a color that looks like blueing on a gun. I did that on a motor cycle I had and it looked good. Ed

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Thanks for the comments/idea's!
I may just get another cab to experiment on.

When you listen to suggestions of others,you never know when someone might come up with an idea that ends up being used on our trucks.
Thanks

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

Troy your more than welcome that what we are all here for to help when possible.ED

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

the Pete looks awesome can't wait to see what color combo you choose. a combination of both would be cool.

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

You could do the old school seminole paint scheme with blue over the top of your black base coat, I think that'd look pretty good.

Something like this......

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

I watched this truck get built and it turned out real nice.I am amazed that you dont like it or some thing you don't like totaly amazing.
I never thought.

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
 

I took a lot of short cuts that i shouldnt have with the body.
I am still making the front fenders the same,I like those.

Re: Peterbilt rebuild
