Well, clear-cote is applied and the truck looks very good with some chrome-parts on it!!
Now I will do all the re-wirging for the lights and change some LED´s. I will also change the rear-fenders, don´t like `em anymore. Will look for some polished single-fenders, they will look much better!

Looks really good. There used to be a really great thread on how to construct your own Half radius fenders. Not sure it made it to this forum, but I think it was Espeefan who had posted the thread.

Truck looks GREAT I do agree that the rear fenders do not match the rest of the truck. Needs more bling in my opinion.

you should get some drive fenders off of S&P in the vendor section and paint them to match the rest of the truck. just a thought !

@Gun:

Thanks for the idea, but I think it will be too expensive to get the parts shipped over to north atlantic!!
And I will keep it like that: paint above frame level, frame level or lower: chrome or polished parts! Got a set of polished single-fenders from fechtner here in germany at a good price, they will be here next week!

Did a little bit of work on the tractor today, now the lights are back on!
I´am still waiting for the rear-fenders to finish the rear of the truck.

Got the rear-fenders on friday and started to attach them to the truck yesterday.
The mirror-holders from tamiya are very helpful....!!

how did you get rid of the headlight off the fenders? you just shave it off or how can I do that to get my fenders like yours?

Yes, Ijust cut the away and then put some plastic on the inside of the fender. Finally I filled some plastic in the hole, the remaining gaps got filled with some putty.
