Default addition to my fleet

as some of you might know from the thread in general discussion i purchased this truck from rod(stepside).i have a plan for this truck,nothing drastic at all .i told rod i was not going to change anything...well....here is the thing i am quite happy with this truck with the exception that it looks like a generic tamiya kinghauler.i would like to make it a name brand truck by making a few changes to the hood .not sure whether i want it to look like a kenworth or a peterbilt..i am leaning towards the pete 359 with the double round headlights.the color will stay the same for now until i figure out a design for a vehicle wrap for both the truck and the trailer i am planning to get

decided to go for the single square headlight peterbilt look instead of the common dual round headlights
the light pods are almost ready .i don't see many if any of the single square pete look ,so this is what i am going to do

Dwayne, Those headlights are awesome looking man great idea nobody has those on there trucks. I can't wait to see how this truck gets transformed. I have seen it at shows in the past when it was Rod's. Keep up the good work.

did a little more work today on the truck so i am giving everyone here a sneak peek at the hood so far..i will be adding an aluminum bug deflector,fender guards ,and a few other things.i just positioned the lights with sticky tape to make sure it is going in the right direction with the look i want ,so i will ask all of my fellow builders on the greatest forum ..keep in mind this is the old grill .i have one of russ's aluminum grills with the louvers for this truck
