Re: "VEGAS" my 65 needlenose pete

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...h/SSPX5747.jpgthis is the colour i am going with its light blue pearl (periwinkle)with baby blue and black stripes,still have to do the pinstriping on the stripes.not sure which colour to do that ..any suggestions?i'm thinking do opposite.pinstipe baby blue on the black and black on the baby blue.these colours are very suttle and reflect the era at that time

Re: "VEGAS" my 65 needlenose pete

Re: "VEGAS" my 65 needlenose pete
 

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...nworth/037.jpghere is the frame with the suspension under it and i also rusted out the fifth wheel plate:D

Re: "VEGAS" my 65 needlenose pete
 

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...nworth/040.jpggot rid of the stripes...(supermario,goose) so now i am not the stripe stealer anymore..lol..as i messed up with the pinstriping. the colours ran into the stripes so i went with these decals that i think go with the name of the truck,and used the stacks from the knighthauler for the curved look

Re: "VEGAS" my 65 needlenose pete
 

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...nworth/045.jpghere it is hooked to my scale 48ft flatbed that i redid over and i got my good friend tuan to add extra l.e.d.s. to the trailer and help with the wiring for the single headlights from pmd. also went with the matte finish rims from tamiya .still have more to do yet before this puppy is finished but will post more updates soon with the truck lit up at night .thanks for stopping in for a look and as always what do you think so far:D:D

Re: "VEGAS" my 65 needlenose pete

Great job on the weathering! That trailer is the perfect match for that truck.Nice touch using the satin rims. Good job!!

The trailer looks great! Is that the trailer you got Sharkey to do for you? He did a real nice job. Heck it looks good in pictures means it looks real good in person :p:D:)
