John the pipes couldn't have come out better!! I kept going back and forth thinking they would be too big in diameter for a Wedico, now I don't know what I was thinking, IF I ever end up building another Wedico I would order up a set of your pipes the minute I got off of the phone from PMD.

Thanks John!

Craig, I hate to say it, but I told you so. I remember when you were asking me if I thought the pipes were to big, and I said, "Buy'em!" If you hated them, and I knew you wouldn't, I'd buy them off you for my own truck. They are awesome. The whole truck is awesome.

Not much yet, I have some ideas of a longer frame and maybe a headache rack but I'm taking a break from the Wedico right now. Maybe in a few months.

Slight update, added about 3" of length, some custom parts from Espeefan and Russ (I'll show more of them soon) and lowered the rear suspension.

Before....

After....

Dr. Seuss frame rails installed. Still needs front bumper, different mirrors, longer fuel tanks, headache rack, fenders, etc., etc., etc. Also have some different suspension parts coming, have to get this truck to sit level and look scale before i quit.

More parts, front bumper by Russ in the Boneyard, no mounting holes showing. Front cross member and hood hinges by Nathan and the Southern Pacific. And RC Damper servo mounts machined down to Wedico size by Lynn TC1Cat. Thanks guys! You Rock! Also Wedico 1/4 fenders, mounted loosely for now.

Lots of loose ends, never mind the wires hanging down inside the cab, will be taken care of!

That looks really nice. I especially like the front cross member and hinges - would those work on a King Hauler?

Looks like the driver is very happy with all you have done

I wouldn't think so. Tamiya kits are 1:14.5 scale and Wedico are 1:16. Claus mentioned that the servo mounts had to be machined down for Wedico, but as original they would work for Tamiya KH, but everything else was made specifically for Wedico. The guys who made the parts might be able to and already might have items made specially for Tamiya though.

I have noticed that most guys just scratch build their own hood mount hinges themselves. I have not seen that anyone is making them for sale.

PS: Sorry, nearly forgot Claus, this Pete is looking incredible! Very clean and very scale and I really love that suspension man!
