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.

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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.

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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 ?

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

Willy John is building the truck for Doug and he is just like a big Teddy Bear check out the pic below.

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

Good thing Doug & you are buds,he looks like a pretty big fellow!:eek:
Odds are he drops a third of your weight in the toilet every mornin!
Could almost be a hospital bed in the makin for ole-Travey,if he decided to give you a teddy bear paw upside the head.:D
FGD
Oh! & Jon,super nice job on the tractor!

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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.

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Ed

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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.

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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.

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

Where did you get the rear fenders from

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

wow!!!! cool coe

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

Great looking build Jon!

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
 

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

~Mike~

Re: Pete 352...(Got wheelbase) Project "Teddy Bear"
