Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.

[Claus]

Okay, I feel a little dumb, I traded out the mounting screws with some button heads. held the screw head with my fingertip and spun the headlights until they tighten down on the screw. No tools needed in that space.

Good looking Grille .......I want one......You could change screw to hex. and cut the tool to fit....just my 2c

So he did and I got it today. I love the quality and detail. That hood ornament is very delicate, be careful if you buy one. I need to find a way of tightening the headlight mounting screws, no way of getting a tool in there.

Sweet loving that Pete grill great job, haven't seen another one like it!

Thanks Brandon! I've gotten a few more parts in, I will have to get an update one of these days.

[Claus]

The grille came with the headlight lenses but no LEDs.

Just a small sneak peek of of a few things to come;







Also waiting on a 60" Peterbilt sleeper from Goose and some other miscellaneous parts. Thanks for looking.

Well, kind of. Parts on the way, will see when they get here. The AWD adapter and the black hubs I have do not go together.

Thank you very much! That one was a challenge.

[Claus]

Not sure about the lug nuts yet.

[Claus]

Next step is to move my axle forward.

1/4" with that hood. ♡♡♡♡ THAT 359

[Claus]

Still unsure if I'm going to be using a Tamiya, Shapeways or Wedico cab I have not bought any of them yet. I was trying to do some test fitting without out a cab which makes no sense at all but anyways... I moved my front axle one mounting hole in the spring pack and set the hood over the wheels. I mounted a stock Tamiya floorboard in the stock location. The hood is up against the floorboard and the grille is just slightly in front of the bumper mount. Can anybody tell me when you cut the hood of a King Hauler cab is the cut and the floorboard flush with each other or does the cab stick out past the floorboard?

I have been trying to use stock bolt hols and not do anymore drilling than necessary, (trying to keep things clean and simple) but looks like stock hole are probably not going to work.

I know when a friend cut my knight daycab the cab / hood the floor pan was a bout 5-10ish mils inside the cab and the normal bottom mount screw holes were removed fron the front of the wind sheild,
And I just made some rectangle ish peices rounds on the front so the hood doesn move side ways when closed....

Hope these pics can help even though its a knight hauler
