  1. Wow, that is a beautiful build, really coming together nicely. Like your exhaust
  2. Gotta just love the teamwork here…..impressive
  3. Oh darn it, I forgot about Model Truck Forum, yes he does. The challenge for me will be removing the fenders as I have custom front fenders but doable, maybe. I just looked at ST Supply and the only hood I see is 1:24 scale.
  4. I have thought about it for sure. I did find a 379 hood and cab at Global Truck Models in 1:25 scale. I may reach out to him to see if I can just get a hood and experiment with that.
  5. This is becoming the inspiration for this build. I have been following this truck build for some time. Still considering a sleeper or not.
  6. This build is costing me a fortune, but we march on. I am not happy with the wheels I have purchased so far to meet the full custom vision and I need a break from heavy haulers that I keep migrating to. So today I purchased another set of wheels. The one piece I am still missing is the 379 hood, searching 😜🤪. Long and low
  7. Man.. Victor, this is going to be some build, watching.
  8. I have wanted to do a twin turbo, but a little unsure how to go about it, so I will be watching closely to steal some ideas😜🤩🤪
  9. Oh I like where this is going. You adding the intercooler for the turbos on this build?
  10. Impressive building, those battery boxes are top notch.
  11. Ron, that is so true, brings importance to reaching out to a skilled printer.
  12. I am running into this more and more, most notably parts from eBay or Etsy from individuals. Although some model kits have issues with their scales as well.
  13. Yes sir, kind of a combination of front springs (adjusted the height and the side to side difference as well) adjust and rear suspension adjustments and all the wheels touch down together.
  14. Well done, outstanding build and well detailed. 🏆🏆🏆
  15. Thanks Jeff, we will see where this goes, as you know my builds are always open to change 🤣😂😜
  16. Thank you Ron for the tip, received the parts from Moldel Truck Builders Forum. The front fenders are perfect fit, also picked up the cab skirts which should add to the lowered look I want to go for.
  17. Picked up a set of battery boxes from Model Truck Builders forum, very well built. But I am still deciding if they are too big, keep looking at box art and they look big there as well………maybe ok……or maybe not.
