Bewitched's First Truck
 
Well Boys.... And girls here is my wifes first rc semi truck. We go to 4 truck shows a year and run the trucks around for the promoters as a attraction for the people at the shows we even pull some signage around for other vendors at the show. Well my wife has always supported the rc hobby and has went to meets but last year was her first year to go with us to a show and after about 2hrs of walking around with me and the boys she just could not take it anymore she had to drive and it was all down hill for there. She spent a little more than 6hrs driving one day she loved it so much.

Well that day she said she wanted her own truck and from that time she started picking out features and styles out that she liked and i started buying parts $$$ :D She has spendy taste LOL!! Well I promised that she would have her truck in a year for the first show and next weekend is are first show we are set to be at this year.

I did not do a build thread but I have some build picks i will post at the end. I had my great friend Stylin and Profilin do the body and paint since we have been blessed with so much work this year and he is a out standing painter and body builder to boot I just did not have time and I am glad he really killed it! Thanks Jon!!

Also there are many many great custom parts on this truck for alot of great parts builders.

Wheels/Fuel tanks and Air Cleaners and front box bumper. IHBUILDER
Body/paint and Stacks/Hump Fenders Stylin n Profilin
Fuel tanks holders and custom rear bumper Russislouad
True Scale Shocks Dreamweaver
Light bezel in the back of the sleeper and bumper Tc1cat
True Scale Frame Rails Freddygeardrive
Peterbilt Style Steps Brian in PA

The rest was me. witch was not much LOL!! :eek:

Anyways here it is Ill get some out door picks tomorrow I hope we have had pretty crappy weather here. Also there is a matching trailer too. I still have Peterbilt emblems to put on it this week when they come in and sound and light kit..

I would like to THANK Jon for his time and skills and to all the custom parts builders for sharing there skills and parts with all of us in the hobby... Thanks Much Guys..

Now paul your wife will be a show stopper with that truck she has a real beauty in here hands:D
Just one thing you better take both rear fenders off and repaint them before the fashion police see the unpainted part in the middle of the fenders :D

Cheers Tracy

Becky,

I'm glad to see it took a women's touch to get all these males to understand the concept of a custom show truck............Great eye and concept. Paul you should be blessed to have someone in the house that knows what she is taliking about and allowed you to open up your wallet and do it right..................

It goes to show how much this hobby has grown in the last few yrs and with this forum that has allowed guys the chace to use their skills to produce parts that have been discribed in this thread is AWESOME. It is great to see all the different skills brought together to produce the truck that we see in front of us.

Becky great job and look forward to seeing it in person at Hubbard. I always liked the trailer you have also it looks great with a orange suit now......................

Wow. I like that! Great looking truck, in every respect. I'm not crazy about the fuel tank mounts, but everything else looks beautiful. Lucky wife, you have. Her truck's paint job looks better then about 90% of the trucks on this forum. No fair! :D

Re: Bewitched's First Truck
 
Have to agree with everything else said already but that is one beautiful truck Paul. She should be very proud of her new truck. It will fit in nicely with the rest I do believe.
