They are plastic and come in diffrent sizes and shapes, I'll post some photos as soon as i get them sorted:)

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Joule, what a grand entrance! You certainly have some amazing talent. Your body work and modifications look beautiful. Incredible job with all you have done. I am looking forward to your updates.

P.S: The central position light seems to be off.

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Those are great pics! I wish you were around still when we took the cabover group pic. It would have been sweet!

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

I know:( I've had 10h drive ahead of me but hey, what's photoshop for ;)

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

hmmmm good point!! OR that just means that we will just have to take another one :)

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

awesome rig.I've seen it in person.we talked at length at show and he is a great guy.who makes that transmission thats in your truck?

Ed

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Tranny is by RCchannel, it also has 4:1 reduction from rc4wd

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Very nice truck. I like these fenders best.

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

How do you like that trans? Does it only have the one gear?

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Nice job on the 352! I have a new globe liner in the box and some parts from Steve ( ihb) grill,tanks,wheels, bumper & stacks from John S&P and have been wanting to build a 352 Pete but now that I see yours I'm going to get to work and hope it comes out half as good as yours .

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Nice looking truck! I love the fuel tanks and tilt cab! It's about 400 rivets cooler than any other Globe I've seen! :D

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Tranny comes with 3 pinions so u can play with your gearing.
I have it installed with 4:1 reduction and a silver can, pulled 60lb trailer without a problem, sounds good to since I don't have sound unit;)

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Thx, I'm sure it will come oute nice :) just take your time, I think that crucial part is to move the front axel to give it a proper look

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Killer looking truck. The detail is second to none.:cool:

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

I just registered on this forum to say, AMAZING work! This is the best truck I have ever seen, now you just need a set of 10 hole alcoas and you are set:)

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Fantastic! Looks great...!

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Awesome truck.

I just bought one of those transmissions, anxious to see how things work out with it in my truck.

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Excellent work!!:cool:It was a real head turner at Indy, and it was a pleasure meeting you there too!!:cool: Keep up the great work!!:cool:

Tim

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

Nice job, really like the exhaust :D

Re: Peterbilt 352 "pacemaker"
 

This thing is a work of art, I'm interested in what you used to make the exhaust brackets, are those black brackets from an aeromax or custom made? I think the only thing that could make this truck look any closer too a real full sized Pete is a set of Steves (IH Builder) aluminum alcoa style rims. Awesome job on an awesome build.
