379ex Hood Tri Axle Pete

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Got the 3 axle pretty much finished out tonight minus new stacks and custom steps and rear light plate but here is what I have now. Decking is all built but I still have to cut the grid plate to go over it and mount the 5th wheel..

[/b]Well i got a wild hair last night and got back at the triple axle Pete and with the help of Wade found a paint job on large car this morning so i got cracking with some finishing touches so i could get this in paint this week so it is ready for Indy. I finished the plastic work on the hood so I can get it filled and filled in the cab roof lights and got the radiator made also.[/b]




So now I can get it wet sanded and get the body work done and in primer. I will get the frame work all painted this week.

Got the paint work done on my frame/tanks/steps/and tranny all DuPont Black with Clear then the tanks were wet sanded and buffed out. I still have to modd the rear tires and am hoping to have the cab all done with in the next week or so. It will be at indy but may just be for looks we will see.. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Sorry about the picks my cam died so I am using my phone.

I just have to fine line it out with the gold around the Tangello orange. I have to rebuff the front bumper and 2 other small spots but other than that the body and paint is finished and the wiring has begone..

I got the gold pin strip around the orange color the last 2 day I think it really sets it off nice.

I am going to start wiring it now I am trying to decided if I should use the Servo Naught sound and light unit or if I will go with the tamiya MFU pretty tight on space with the motor under the hood so the tamiya mfu is sort of losing out. I also have to make mirror brackets and rear light plate.
