359 NOW 379EX Peterbilt Update 1-3-13

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well some of you older members might remember when I got this truck and rebuilt it the first time. I went ahead and started my rebuild of my first truck. I still have to do the back light plate and deck plate and punisher shafts before I can paint the frame. Then I am going to install the MFU and put the body back on it while I modd another new body for it. I am not sure if I am going to change the tanks and steps I kind of like that old school look on this one..

Paul I don't know if you can answer this but how do the rc4wd tyres compare tread wise to the Carson cross force ones

They dont have the heavy tread the Carson ones do but the compound is much better but the scale look of the carson is better by far.

Paul the rims look fantastic and I bet it was worth the wait.

They are some very nice looking rim's, and if it was me i would give them i high polish

Steve.
