Im in two mind about this the twin tanks looks good but then it hides the stretch and the light bar in front of the wheels witch most guys want to show.
Maybe if your keeping the twin tanks a cat walk over them could improve the look or scrap them the kit ones / bat box and get two custom tanks and keep the tool box between thiem with one long skirting board, that way the Alu blends in from the a55 to the front.
Then sink the battery between the frame rails to keep it clean & tidy and polish the heat shield so it all shines...
But over all it starting to come together now with the custom parts and tyre lettering,
Love those freightliner wheels are they left and right specific ??

Well I think i'm changing my mind.

Tracy, i'm thinking more towards having some tanks made, and having them a little longer. I knew all I had to do was ask. And yes, the wheels are left and right. I don't think there's nothing Steve can't handle.

Great job there Big John. This rig is looking fantastic now, really coming together very nicely indeed. You must be close to the finish now.

Thanx for looking, Big John

Thankyou, but if you go to the start of this thread, you'll see who painted it, and I was lucky enough to get my hands on it...and a matching tanker trailer to boot.

Yea Russ, I had to strain my brain, but I told myself they weren't going to beat me. LOL!!! And I knew the elbows came from John, I just forgot to mention it, my bad.

Thanx everybody, Big John

Well ladies and gents, it's been a loooooooong time since I had an update. I think it was page 13 or 14 until I found this thread and dusted it off. Well Russ came through again, and I am very pleased. I will let the pic's take over now.











Thank you Russ, YOU DA' MAN!!! Thanx all for looking, Big John

Thank you Shaun. I like them, and I wanted to incorporate Cindy on the truck some way. And she likes them as well.
