Peterbilt#2

[sneaky-pete]

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




One of the possible rear fender styles.

A little mock up.

The frame won't be as long on this one.It will have fat fenders

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!

I used the ones off of my other Peterbilt,I would like to get some more for future builds.....since I like the lowered look.

This may sound weird,but if we were in prison....I would protect you in the showers lol,lol.the wheels are awsome!

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.

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.

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

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.

Thanks for all of your comments gentlemen!
