Re: optimus prime transformers
Looks like you did a fantastic job on the rear fenders blending the tail lights. If you give Ric a call, he might be able to help you out. But it may be a few days until you can get hold of him...he's probably still getting situated after the Indy show.

Re: optimus prime transformers
Dwayne...the perfect brackets are are the j brackets on pmd's single rounds ..you can take the single round off there then drill through the bottom of the bracket and into your double rounds and a little screw will work perfect..that's what I did on my roll off..I used the lights off the roll bar on the f350 high lift to give it the bigger headlight look like from a 32 ford ..it's a shame to take singles off but they are perfect...

Re: optimus prime transformers
Looks great. I tried to build an Optimus at one time but just never finished it now the cab is modified into something else I need to finish. I also cant wait to see the paint.

Re: optimus prime transformers
the problem sometimes with bondo ...guys it can eat or screw up the plastic ! i like to use a two part "epoxy sculpt" you just mix equal parts of the putty together smear it on...and it even can be fine smoothed with water ! once it dries to a super rock hard finish...you can sand it out to what you want. It never shrinks or hurts the plastic your working with ! once you try it and see how it works...you will never use anything else ! Also that green putty can bleed through your paint and you will have a dark shadow there all the time !

Re: optimus prime transformers

Re: optimus prime transformers
here are some updates on optimus .the flared swept look has been done on the front fenders and the intake hose hole has been covered so it will have the proper peterbilt breathers on it
