Re: Nick's 379 build
Those hub covers look really nice. I assume you removed the anodize and polished the wheels? How would those wheels look if you would have used the hub covers they came with?

Re: Nick's 379 build
The caps look very nice Nick but I don't think I could go from aluminum parts back to plastic. I'm trying to use aluminum parts on my build when I can.

Re: Nick's 379 build
The Meir hub covers are fine,I just liked the more realistic domed end insted
of the flat end w/star pattern.

I think the verkerk plastic caps look good, even if they are plastic, but it's all a matter of opinion of course.

Re: Nick's 379 build
Hey no apologies needed, I certainly didn't take offense! Your build certainly sounds like it will be nice too, with all the plastic you will be swapping out for aluminium, looking forward to seeing some progress!

Re: Nick's 379 build
Thanks Nick, kind of in the holding pattern right now, need to work a couple doubles or something to get some more hobby money for more aluminum parts. Those plastic cross-members have to go.

Re: Nick's 379 build
Well it's about time for an update. Long overdue, I know.
It's not gonna look like much but I have spent hours making the fenders and inner fenders. I had to start again as I wrecked my first set of fenders. Time to put it down and walk away for a bit... So here's where I'm at now: Truck is provisionally sitting on my trailer tyres until I get the rims steve's making for me to fit wedico tyres. Need to bend and glue the last bit of trim there, and also trim back the lower cowl to be level with the bottom of the fender Finally I need to make that notched part of the lower cowl there to fill the gap with the inner fender The sleeper is almost ready for detailing, then I need to put all the rivets on and see about the headlights. Still a long way to go...
