Looks great Mario and the best part for Sue is you had time to practice on your truck (which is fantastic as well) to make hers even better.:D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks John...It's a lot easier to wax an rc truck than it is my real truck. I love when things shine...got some more polishing to do today...:)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Very nice work on the lights and the shine is perfect, you have both done an incredible job on this build. Can't wait to see it lit up.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

I love cab clearance lights and lights in front of the breathers, which I see you have also!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Can't wait to see it either......:D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!

Black Passion build update:

Been making good steady progress lately and things are coming along great. Everytime i think im ready to start installing electronics, i find something else i want to do on the body or chassis:eek::D.
i should be installing and testing the mfu and motor operation in the next day or so. Also , still gotta go to the graphics dude in town and get the logos made!

Back when i installed my stacks on King of Bling I had removed about 1 1\2" of the pipes but seeing as I'm a mechanic and just cant throw anything away I kept the little peices and I'm really glad I did!:)
You may be able to see that i used those on the end of the elbows and they go right to the frame rails. It filled the gap between the steps and fuel tank perfectly:D:D

Also installed some lights on rear of sleeper which will be connected to the reverse lights

Also painted the back mounting of the steps from PMD and some cool pete logos in black and chrome instead of the typical red.

Nice updates, Mario! Keep it coming. The truck looks really nice. Black is a good color.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Mario, looking spot on. Very nice job so far. Nice job on the stack extension as well. Looking forward for mor pics with the grafics.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks Nathan , Kaff. Glad you like.

I couldnt help myself. I wanted to take a few pics of the fleet so I pulled Super Bling out of winter hibernation mode and took a few pics.
the fleet has come along way from this :

Thanks for looking.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Sorry Fred, almost forgot to reply to your question:o
the air cleaner lights are from PMD. Each has 10 led and look nice lit up. Susan loves them, personally i have one issue with them. They are a little too thick. The air cleaner sticks out quite a bit.
Nothing major, just me being fussy:o:p:D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Hey mario and sue trucks look great..really cool builds...each on either side of the spectrum....one as black and clear as night and the other as bright and shiney as day....good job so far you to....looking forward to seeing these 2 and you folks in person this summer :D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Hey mario you said breather lights are from pmd are they 5 amber in front and 5 red in the rear they must be new although its been awhile since i been on pmd website

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

The breather lights from Ric are not up on the site yet but available, I just ordered a few sets and they are Amber in front and Red in the back.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks for the compliments Dwayne. Great way to describe the trucks.:cool: June just can't come fast enough:D

The lights are 5 amber on front side and 5 amber on the back side. Your right, these are not listed on Ric's site. He had them at the Indy show. That's when Susan bought them.

See, another good reason why you want to attend the Indy show next August the weekend of the 24th so you can see the latest and greatest goodies. :)

I can't remember how much they were... All the stuff I've purchased in the last year, it's all a blurr :eek::confused::p

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Really? I powered mine up the other night and they are amber both sides???

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

I believe he may offer both as my first set was Amber both sides and the last few were split, Amber in front and Red in the rear.
