Actually its pretty easy mod to do. just doulbe side tape a micro hitec servo in there and hook up the linkage and your in business. Been doing that mod on all my trucks for the last couple of years.

Re: Project "overtime" peterbilt
 
All of the trucks stages of evolution sure look great

Re: Project "overtime" peterbilt
 
Got the whole truck wired and ready to go. Had a problem with the sleeper. Some of the bodywork shrink. So I striped the paint and started over. Hope to have it re-sprayed soon.

Re: Project "overtime" peterbilt
 
That really turned out well, I am very impressed. Bad luck with the sleeper but I am sure you will have it sorted pretty soon. Can't wait to see that fitted.

Re: Project "overtime" peterbilt
 
looking great!

Question: How did you smooth out the wedico sleeper? How did you adhere the roof on permanently?

Just curious :eek:

hauler_10-4 02-26-2012 04:15 PM

Re: Project "overtime" peterbilt
 
Hey Rod smoothed it body putty and used a industrial grade exopy to attach the two.

Well the truck is finally 100% complete. Added a ss-tronix wireless trailer kit too. Will try to post a video tomorrow. Want to thank all vendors who support this hobby. Thank you for making aluminum parts to replace the cheap looking plastic ones.
