This will be a slower build for me this time!
In this pic you can see the axle moved forward.

I have fat pipes to put on,and need to polish steps and I have different tanks.

I have a lot of plastic to cut,shape,and mold.
This just the start.
Thanks for looking!

Nice truck you have started there and the rims are sweet Steve does a wonderful job.:D

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

would you believe they're machined by hand :rolleyes: sorry just had to pat myself on the back :p looks great ,Troy :thumbsup::) are those the std tam tire or low pro ?

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Looks awesome already, and you are just getting started. I like the first fenders you pictured better then the second set. I guess I have thing for single round fenders over the rear drivers. I really like the look you have going. Gonna be another sharp rig for sure. Very nice.

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Great start can't wait to see it done! Hearing A lot about steve and the parts he has been making and what a super job! Going to need some for myself!!

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Looks good so far.
How you move your axle forward?

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

cant wait for more progress! She looks great already

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Your rendering so far looks great. Who did the top air cleaners for you? Ed

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

You should pat yourself on the back:D,the tires are mich. low pros.
The wheels make the truck!:eek:

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

I'd like more info on that first rear fender, those are great.

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

I left the springs alone,and move the axle forward of the nipples on the springs.

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Wow, nice work!
How did you form the possible rear and front fenders, and are they metal or styrene?

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

I think Dakota?
I got them from loose-cannon on another forum.

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

I cut them from a plastic cap.

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

I cut the front fenders along the edge and heated the plastic to bend around
a standard tamiya tire.

The rear fender was cut from a plastic cap.

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Thanks for all of your comments gentlemen!

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

Here are some pics if that helps.
The pipe caps came from Ace Hardware,you just have to find the right diameter
for your tires.;)

Re: Peterbilt#2
 

I don't believe it Troy! You're already building another pete and I'm not anywhere near finishing my first one! Is this a rebuild of your black one or another one to go alongside it in the fleet?
