I've been working to get these two finished before they go with me to the open house at Peterbilt in October.

First up:

A model 389 heavy hauler

The inspiration:

Next is the aero tractor from the Fox Valley of Wisconsin, a 2010 386.

The inspiration:

Many more pics and the build info is on the Workbench page of my site www.timstrucks.com

Of course I am I have one posted here a 378 set back front axle with a scratch built trailer and a 367 set forward axle in progress both hoods from P&P both awesome hoods. I actually tried to email you through your site but I couldn't get it ot work for some reason. I wanted to build my 367 as 2010 model and I had a couple questions and I knew you were the man to ask. I built it as a 2008 that I saw at the Oregon logging confrance instead.

Both trucks look great. I like the colour of the 389 it works well with all the chrome.

Tim,

What do you use to outline the door trim? Is that paint or foil?
