Wow, time to handover the Man card if you own bedazzle jewels. LOL. J/K It looks like a great truck and trailer set up. Can't wait to see the bedazzle jewels lit up. What's the code for the gay smilie?

You mean these? And I do still have one extra complete set of those flames if you're interested

[Rpp Hobby]

This truck is so nice. Who did the flames?

[Rogue]

Thanks a bunch, I appreciate it.

The decals were done for me by Silvio (skl1cent). Super easy to work with him, and get exactly what I wanted.

Wow decals? really nice job. Dd he re draw them or use pattern from original picture?

[Rogue]

I had a whole album of pics of this truck (the 1:1) compiled by the time i got to this point, and sent them to him. He was able to scan or do whatever it is that he does to shrink and scale them to my truck.

[Espeefan]

Wow, looking sharp Paul! Like those lights on the back of the cab! Are those jewls going to be transluscent enough for the LEDs to shine through?

Nate yes they will shine threw the jewels they are not going to be super bright but just like they should be if you had them on a 1:1 and you had the dark red lenses..

Well I got alot of 90% finished projects and newly started truck and trailer builds so I am trying to clean up a bunch of the 90% finished projects and this is one of the.

I added 1/16 oak plywood to the polished alum decks and drew in my board lines and bolts I have also added my load straps so when I have the trailers stacked and I have a boat load of prewired LEDs on the way to finish many lighting projects like this one.

Here is what I got so far.





Ok on to the next projects while I wait for the lights.

[BRICKNICK]

Paul I was wondering what ever became of this yellow zonker, I love this thing. Glad to see its in its way to completion.

[Claus]

One of Brian's grilles would be a nice touch on that truck. Very cool custom Paul.

Thanks Claus I have a bunch of his grilles here but I am going to leave it this way I think maybe we will see.


All my LEDs will be in next week but got promotions to do at a truck show next weekend so building will be out hopefully I have time this week to get the trailers wired.
