Arrow Re: Need some help to make my decision up?????

Louie, you're asking a tough decision here. With the T900 you have a classic build that everyone can relate to, but with the T950 you get an original build that stands-out when you go to a show. You stated that you were leaning toward the T950 as a personal preference, so I think you should build that one. No one should ever tell you what to build, only make suggestions that may help you in your creativity.

I personally like both, but then again, I'd probably talk myself into building both when I get a chance just to have them in my collection. Take your time and do what's right for you.

Thanks for the input guys,
they are pretty much the same except that the T950's cab and bunk are raised 150mm and the front wheel is moved back 5mm, makes the bonnet look shorter because of the slope its got, the T900 has got the good old classic look to it which i like and the 950 has the tough look about it whick i also like , if i could id build both but ill do one for now, an if i build the 900 and dont like it, its not that hard to change the bonnet and raise the cab to look like the 950 either
Here is what i mean



thankyou for your help so far
Cheers Lucas

Flat hoods will always be cool in my book....just a more classic style IMO....but it's your model do as you feel. That's the most important part...

Question Re: Need some help to make my decision up?????

Well ive still been thinking which one to build, either one will/should be a real winner,I hope, which ever one it is has to look tough as well as sound tough, im happy with the way my Knight sounds, but this one i want similar if not better, im even thinking of naming it , loud and proud maybe?, here is what im thinking it should sound like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCvkRiYhHGs

Hmmm, since the cabs are so similar, you could build one of each and swap them on the same chassis. One chassis, two cabs.

Espeefan, thats what i was pretty much thinking, except make the cab and bunk because they are both identicle, then make two bonnets one a T950 and the other a T900 and see which is better looking out of the two, im thinking of making the hood tilt too so i dont think it will be that hard to do either,
Thankyou to all of you for your input, it has helped more than i thought
Cheers Lucas
