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?

Hey Bricknick, you will need to drill new holes but, yeah they work on a Tamiya truck, check out Northern Farmer's truck.

Here you go......

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.

Indeed the final result is what counts. Good things come to those who wait

I love this grille but these ears and the hood ornament are so delicate not sure if I want to buy another or look else where. This is the most detailed grille I have ever seen.

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.
