They are just styrene with chrome decal wraped around it with some PMD lenses.

No they are custom rails I got from a Tamiya Cowboy here on the board and they were blanks when I got them all of the holes were drilled by me so I have no extra holes giving the frame a clean look.:cool:

That is a great looking truck Travis Nice work!!

Re: My Kenworth T800

Looks good Travis! Nice job on the hood.

Re: My Kenworth T800

Looks good Travis! I have some suggestions... if you're comfortable with a lot of modding and shaping, I know I'm not! Try shrinking the headlights and maybe making the grille have more vertical sections. But don't get me wrong.... THIS IS AMAZING!!! By the way, I'm typing this on the PS3.
