Just Another Peterbilt......Half Breed.

[Claus]

My new Shapeways Peterbilt cab came today, thanks to Mrs. Claus, that was one of my Christmas gifts. The reason I bought a new cab was the other printed cab I have has cab skirts on the bottom but my sleeper does not so some body work was going to have to be done. The second reason is the new cab fits the sleeper flange much better, in fact bolts together. I do not care for the frosted windshield but we'll see what I can do with that.

I also have Rigid RC mirrors and clearance lights to add, the new cab has no mounting holes for either of those things. I also have a brand new grille in the package since this one broke but until the truck is built I will be using the broken one.

My truck is actually starting to take on a very correct heavy spec Peterbilt look, exactly what I was going after.







I never wanted an exact replica of this truck but wanted to capture the heavy sleeper truck with sleeper, I think I'm going in the right direction My truck will be red, maybe black front fenders.
