Long story short, I have a Chrome Shop mafia hat signed by Bryan the boss man! Spray lids might work off your B.O. spray?? Engine detail might need to be waste gate piping etc for the turbos?

That hat would be cool mate, especially for someone like your self who is actually into trucks, scale and 1:1.. Spray lids are a good idea too, they will hold shape, and only need finishing off... so to speak... great thinking mate. two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon |

Thanks Bruce... Well, a LOT of hours have gone into the fenders, firstly i had to make 4 of them, and then prepared them to be paneled up.   And then the even harder part was filling them in.  And then some filling with CA glue, and sand them out for a mock-up.    Looks a bit light in the front now... what can i make to balance it out , maybe a sleeper ? ? thinking-hard-smiley-emoticon |

Sweet, they may have taken a while but it looks like it was worth the time. Are you going to reshape the front to match?

Now that's a bloody good idea mate... i have been wondering what to do with the cab ? I' could run the back of the front fender down and back towards the tank.... YEAH !! Thanks Les.. two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon |

Thanks very much Leon.. I added a couple of ridges to the fenders, to break up the "plain-ness" of them, and pinned the tanks to mount them   |

Deano, Mike ,Martin... thanks guys, sorry Martin, i'm on the back foot against all these other builds, i want to keep any little win to myself...  I needed to do something to the front fenders, so a small extension to start with, add a couple of layers of plastic, then fill it and shape it.   Then add a small extension to the cab, to introduce IT to mother earth too.  And TA-DAAAAA....   NEXT, will be a big front bumper.... |
