What do you mean by "those" frame rails I think you are mistaken as to where they came from.

You are an animal John. Truck looks amazing.

[Stylin n profilin]

Thanks Jesse.:p:p:D

[Brian in PA]

WOW! John where do you find your time? I'm gonna send mine to you to finish it.:D:D

Brian

[Espeefan]

Wow, that's a big gap between the cab and the first drive axle! Great job on the body work. I really want to see what it looks like with the grill in place, and a visor. It's going to be sharp, I am sure.

[BRICKNICK]

**** Jonny, that's another bad lookin notch in your ever increasing belt of impressive builds. Nice work my friend.

[CustomRCmodels]

yeah , that’s some wheel-base … nice work John …
heya , what’s the deal with the “TeddyBear” , what I am missing here ?

we will see you in Indy again ?

Hi great rig i dont mean to critisize but how come your cab paint looks so thick ? What paint are you useing please dont take this comment the wrong way thanks

[Stylin n profilin]

Thanks guy's...Diddy...the paint is an automotive paint and it is basecoat / clearcoat..There's not alot of paint..the clear gives it that depth and thickness look to it..:D

[MACK Daddy]

Nice Job on the paint John....Definitely going to be utilizing your skills

:D:D:p

[Espeefan]

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.

[Stylin n profilin]

Im thinking the same thing Nathan...But its up to him...:rolleyes: its getting there..should be ready for indy:D

[heavy_duty]

John,you are the man when it comes to custom rigs.We are gonna talk at Indy.:D

Ed

[Cossett]

This is one of the nicest US COE conversions I've seen for a while, cant wait to see if finished now I want more:D:D:D

Cheers Tracy

[Espeefan]

Im thinking the same thing Nathan...But its up to him...:rolleyes: its getting there..should be ready for indy:D

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. :D

[Stylin n profilin]

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

[Stylin n profilin]

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

http://i883.photobucket.com/albums/ac33/Stylinpete/downsized_0508011249.jpg

[Espeefan]

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]

Well Nate....Them mudflaps came off tonight....Now much better..:D:D Was playing with styrene while waitting for the aluminum grill to be made...that blank space was bothering me...:D:D not great but for a quick fix for now it works.:p:p

[ihbuilder]

:eek:yea yea it's comming :o:o:o :p:p:D gota wait for them end mills :(:(

[sneaky-pete]

Wow John that is sweet!
You are a painting machine:eek:

[BRICKNICK]

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]

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. :D 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. :D

[diddys trucking]

Where did you get the rear fenders from

[Stylin n profilin]

Thanks everyone..Ok Nate...I poked the Teddy Bear..and we are going to try a slamming visor:D:D:D...Diddy...I made the rear fenders..thanks

[Espeefan]

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

[muskater]

wow!!!! cool coe

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Great looking build Jon!

[Dreamweaver]

This thing is lookin SWEET John.. Love the paint job. I would vote for the big drop visor as well.

~Mike~

[bigpipespete]
