I try to do something new on most everything I do. This time it was to light up a Peterbilt
I still need to finish the hoses... and decide on putting a bar across the back with chains and "comealongs".
. First time I asked for criticism, I was asked if the markers on the cab changed colors because I had installed red. I didn't everything on a truck has to be amber to oncoming traffic and red to following traffic! Had to redo that one... Then I had to find a place to put the battery. Logic said under the bunk in the sleeper so all the wiring had to be run to the sleeper.
This was also my first time with the PE around the stacks. I didn't notice the logo on the first set and rolled them the wrong way. That was a $20 mistake!
The rear bumper was plastic and looked fake so I found some card stock and made the straps that hold them to the bar from strips of aluminum soft drink can. And what's a real truck without naked lady mudflaps, eh?
PE wipers but I finally got the side door installed. Finding and making the PE hinge for that was crazy hard and it isn't what I would like it to be... that's why there are no photos.
