Not a whole lot to report........I sent all of my body parts to Exclusive RC for paint, rivet work and more.

I did get these very nice mud flaps and aluminum 1/4 fenders with matching Peterbilt logos. The mud flaps are from Exclusive RC and the 1/4 fenders from Metal Hobi. Hope to get them mounted this weekend.

OK I've been away a little while but those quarter fenders are awesome, do they work for the tamiya? Who is this metal hobi? Do they have any Tamiya parts?

Only been 3 months, I wish it were done but it's not. Hopefully it will be perfect which is more important than done fast.

I broke mine also ! I had to mill down the bar under the head light due to the fact that it hits the shapeways fenders and I got in a hurry . Man it's heart breaking

Well, I lost all of my photobucket photos. Here is what the truck looked like at that point.








I hope to get the body parts back from paint shop soon. I added a rear bumper from Reg and changed out my rear suspension kit to the one with the plastic leaves and red links. The red links are ugly. I used the steel optional leaves the kit includes, truck has good travel and is nice and stiff in the rear.

Super slow Brandon! Coastway has built me an awesome trailer but the tires are on back order! Exclusive RC has had my body parts since February, still waiting for those! .

It will come together someday just not sure when.
