Shapeways products

[bhaagjr]

Im ready to order some parts from Shapeways and I need some help. Im going to order the Pete hood, fenders and cab for now. My question is what plastic to go with. It shows two styles, both are listed as "white, strong, and flexible". But one also listed as polished. Witch one would require less prep work? Its odd that the polished parts are less expensive than the non polished. Thanks for the help and advise. Buddy

I have several hoods cabs and fenders now from shapeways all I have had to do it take it down with a little 400 then do a coat of high build primer then sand again with 400 then seal and paint super easy and have had zero issues it all.;

I ordered the Pete cab, hood and finders from Shapeways. The items came in and when I started checking the parts out I found the bars in the side windows for the vent glass were missing. I contacted Shapeways and they looked into the issue. They said they found the issue and would replace the cab at no charge. Well the new cab came in the same way. Has anyone here ordered the Pete cab and did you have any issues with it?

[bigford]

is the cab a 379 or a389?

[bhaagjr]

Looking at the web page it does not say what cab it is. The description is PETERBILT STYLE CAB (TS-BD-0007). The pictures on the web show the window bars.

i just remember he lists the 389 headlights.thats why i ask
you could make a big window 379 and it would be correct
