Peterbilt#2
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!

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

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?
