signguy2108 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Here's a few more pics. Still in the building stages. Revell snap kit, Italeria frame & wheels from some kit. 8" stacks are copper tubing covered w/ chrome vinyl from my sign shop. The end from a cheap bic pen provided the 8" to 5" reducers. Still have to paint the mud flaps and build headache rack (lumber hauler) & other details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Looks good, but I wouldn't be driving that under any overpasses any time soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
signguy2108 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Need to trim em a bit. When hooded to a van trailer, they are only about 1/4 " to tall. Diameter of them makes em look tall. I've goy a buddy that just installed 8's on his 1 to1 Pete. They look the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trick my mixer Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 It looks great. Any Peterbilt with a small sleeper and big Pipes and old school paint job gets my vote. It really gives it that west coat LARGE CAR look!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
