"SLUMLORD" pic's...finally

John if you look at most stretched large cars.. They have no fairings on the backs of the sleepers.. I agree with the others on the frame color as well. You always want your frame darker in my opinion... In fact in cases of two tones you always want the lighter color to be the majority color and the dark to be the minority color.. Just my two cents worth but after having trucks in several truck shows I can tell ya that is the "Norm"..

Mike, the reason I wasn't going to add lentgh to the frame is w/o the farrings, it looks like there's more room between the truck and trailer. I was thinking when I paint the frame dark blue, putting a piece of stainless between the rails...What ya think? Thanx for your help, Big John

I think that is exactly what ya want to do.. Make sure you put it BETWEEN the rails and not over the top.

That is an awesome paint job on the cab....and for my two cents worth I also like the idea of the stretched frame, adding some stainless to the cab....and the scrollwork on the frame rails would really set this off! Very nice work on it so far though...

OK frybuilder, first thing thanx for the compliments. Now if I do decide to do some scroll work on the frame, the trailer frame will have to match. My hands aren't real steady, so I will have hit up one of our master painters for this job...hint, hint...

OK guy's and gal's, I have two sets of fenders coming from John aka S&P for the truck and trailer.
And I am getting a set of rails 4" longer than stock from FGD.
And last, but not least, ih builder, Steve is making an amazing bumper for the truck.

When I get these parts, I will take more pic's.
It's a long and slow process, but I should be ready for Indy in 2012

Here is a set of exhaust tips I made a long time ago.
I was debating on putting them on...So after long deliberating, I decided to...And i'm glad I did.
Let me know what you all think







And here the bumper i'm putting on, and I may go with the same on the tanker.



Let me what you think, and thanx for looking
