It's coming together nicely, John. The only thing that kind of baffles me are the mud flaps. With the full fenders covering the rear, the mud flaps just look out of place. I think if it were my truck, I'd make some short ones with chrome weights, and then mount them to the fenders, from the inside rear.

That's good. I didn't want to come across as being harsh and offend anyone. It was just something that bugged me, and I know my opinion is not always going to be the same as the next guys.

Thanks Ed.and thanks Tracy...After doing this one i cant wait to redo my K100..Not much different..just better paint

...Nate..I said that to him and he said well you work truck has mudflaps hanging behind the full fenders..and it does..but there stainless...not badboy custom painted ones

Stylin n profilin · #27 08-08-2011, 01:13 PM

plus..the stainless don't really cover the tires in the rear.

Espeefan · #28 08-08-2011, 02:21 PM

Ahh, indeed, but as you said, not quite wrap around full fenders, so not really the same thing. That's a nice shot of the rear. Nice looking Peterbilt.

Stylin n profilin · #29 08-08-2011, 10:33 PM

Well Nate....Them mudflaps came off tonight....Now much better..

Was playing with styrene while waitting for the aluminum grill to be made...that blank space was bothering me...

not great but for a quick fix for now it works.

ihbuilder · #30 08-08-2011, 10:39 PM

sneaky-pete · #31 08-08-2011, 10:43 PM

Wow John that is sweet!
You are a painting machine

BRICKNICK · #32 08-09-2011, 07:39 PM

Jon that lil styrene grill you made fooling around looks pretty **** good, looks better then most aftermarket aluminum grills, that Pete is looking good man.

Espeefan · #33 08-09-2011, 07:47 PM

Nice, John. The grill looks good for being thrown together as a stand in. Not that it's my truck, but you know what else would be sweet? A bigger, polished aluminum visor.

It would match so well with the bumper and grill. Maybe you should poke and prod the Teddy Bear and see what he thinks. I'm telling you, it would look nice. Okay, I'm just glad the mudflaps are gone.

Where did you get the rear fenders from

Stylin n profilin · #35 08-10-2011, 09:03 PM

Thanks everyone..Ok Nate...I poked the Teddy Bear..and we are going to try a slamming visor

...Diddy...I made the rear fenders..thanks

Espeefan · #36 08-10-2011, 09:15 PM

Great! Next thing you know, I'll be buying this truck from you, instead of the Teddy Bear. Just kidding!
