6x6 Peterbilt 379 tractor build

[trucker1970]

It's sitting at home and become a VERY expensive shelf queen without a shelf haha I overpaid for it. If it had everything metal I wouldn't feel that way. It does have the MFC-01 sound and shaker in it which is close to $400 by itself I think and I thought the tri-drive was pretty cool, but it really needs a gear reduction... so yeah it's just kinda doing nothing sitting beside my first hydraulic excavator I don't use...

Hi Frizzen,

Great looking setup! I was thinking of getting some of the Peterbilt parts from Shapeways, and was wondering if they are smooth and can be painted ok? It says they are a little grainy, can a person sand and fill so they are as smooth like the stock parts are, so when they are painted they look shiny smooth and glossy?

Thanks for the help!

yeah.. thanks Frizzen I thought I followed the instructions on posting pics. I tried a few times and couldn't see them in the post just the links. So I did it both ways just in case I got lucky.
