Let me know what you think of the fenders? I am not sure about keeping them but they definitely give it a different look.

Thanks for looking.

Looks great I like the way the lip on the fender sits on top of the bumper. The bumper really looks good.

Re: Orange Pete
 

Nice! I am diggin this build awsome

Re: Orange Pete
 

I have to agree, the bumper really gives your ride a bad attitude...As George thorogood say's...wait for it..."BAD TO THE BONE"!!!:eek:
You should keep the fenders, they're different, and that's what it's all about.;)
Keep us posted.

That is great looking Travis.. The fenders are great but I am not digging the bumper..

Re: Orange Pete
 

I really like it Travis, the fenders add an extra touch (they remind me of a legend race car).

I can't wait to see the finish product tomorrow morning. =)

Yuuup. There are more and more orange truck surfacing. I was hoping to get my Pete repainted in a Burnt Orange. Guess I'd better hurry.

Re: Orange Pete
 

Travis, I respect you're building skills and talent, but this one just ain't doing it for me. The fenders look humongous and I really don't like the step the front bumper has. Maybe the fenders would look better if you extended the hood, and had that bumper tucked in and flush with the grille, but I think together, they are a bad combination.

Re: Orange Pete
 

No problem Nate I appreciate you honesty and this is why I asked to get others opinions. I am going to wait till I get the single round lights and see how they look with it then I may try something different.

Re: Orange Pete
 

I'm glad you don't mind the honesty. I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Like they always say, it's your truck, and if you like it, that's what counts most!

Re: Orange Pete
 

over all the fenders look great, but maybe a little to big?? the front bumper looks a little out of place.

Re: Orange Pete
 

I think it will look better when I get the rest of the accessories on but if it doesn't I can always have a new bumper made.

Re: Orange Pete
 

She might have a porch but I think it looks good - the lines flow nicely and the proportions of the wheels cutouts and bumper all marry nicely.

BTW - nice short wheelbase! That tranny is tucked in nice and tight!

Re: Orange Pete
 

I like it!... It is beefy, but if the rig stays a bare bones type, the beefyness helps it be bad a$$.... kinda like a big, fat, bare bones harley is bad a$$. I say keep the fenders and bumper..:eek: I can picture Stalone working out in it driving to an armwrestleing match....

Re: Orange Pete
 

Thanks Chris.

Thanks sgt hopkins the bumper is not that much different than my green truck just a little taller. Like I said we will see how it looks with the rest of the stuff mounted.

Re: Orange Pete
 

I dig it Travis!I think it will look cool one it all comes together!

Re: Orange Pete
 

Cant wait to see this project take off!!! I will be watching this one very closely!!!:cool:

Re: Orange Pete
 

This is gonna be interesting!!! I'm tuned in

Re: Orange Pete
 

the fenders sort of remind me of the old round fender autocars with the square checkerplate bumpers that would stick out with the pto in front i think that would look better with the fenders that huge one you have on there is more for show ,with the tires looks like it should be moving houses on those huge dollys
