Thanks guys. Here's a teaser, not much to add, just fitted the tanks and steps on the other side and mocked up the stack and bumper. The rake is made worse by the wide angle lens of my camera.

Looks great Nick!! Those lo pro tires look sweet. How much are they? They fit the stock Tamiya /Steve's wheels with no mods, right?

Brian, here's a closeup of the tyre.

They are a straight replacement for the tamiya ones, no modifications to fit stock wheels. They cost 8.95 euros, with the euro as it is right now, the exchange rate might be a bit more favourable for you.
They are a softer compound to the tamiya tyres also. The level of detail makes them worth it in my opinion. I had to get them to do steve's wheels justice. Just waiting to get the wheels now.

Thanks Tyler, yeah I just had to get Russ' suspension when it came out. You can get away with tamiya's setup with full fenders hiding it, but with the qtr fenders everything's on show and it wouldn't be a peterbilt without that type of suspension!

When I look at this truck, only one thing comes to mind, the song "lowrider".
This thing is large and in charge.
Excellent job, can't wait to see more.
Get better soon
