Looking good, John. I like your rear fenders. Your truck, with those fenders reminds me of another 1:1 Peterbilt I saw some photos of on the net. Probably Hank's truck pictures or something. If you color match the rear fenders to the cab, it will be really close to the one I am thinking of. Very nice.

Lookin' good John.

Myself, i'm not a fan of that style of rear fender, but they do look good. Awesome shine to the paint on the cab.


I'm just happy to see more and more guys finally closing up the radius on the front fenders. The stock Tam radius is pathetically out of proportion.

John, I know you copying the 1:1 truck you drive, but here is the one your model reminds me of, at least with the rear fenders you have in the photos.
