    Nice book matched mudguards.
    No need to apologise about the phoney photos, for what we need to see in the shed they are fine. I use mine all the time for WIP.

    Crowie,

    I see that you glue the templates straight onto the wood. I always cover my wood with wide painters tape and glue the template on the tape. It costs next to nothing in the cheap shops (no need for super quality) and it saves lots of time sanding the glue off. Saves time as well.

    Apart from that, looking good as always!

    Looks good so far.

    Turns out I will be doing some similar wheel arches, I tried carving the body and arches from a lump of Oregon and I cracked a wheel arch so carving is considered outside my skills range for now, hahaha. Going to try the African Ironwood for the arches.

    Hi, Peter.

    Love the Truck, but I think the mudguards is to big for the truck.

    Cheers, Ole

    Looks a bit like Jed Clamperts truck in the Beverley Hillbillies.
    i assume Handy makes the mistakes, and Peterbuilt fixes 'em?

    Looking good Peter, nearly finished by the look of it.

    No Alan, It's got a Ratrod look being wide and low.....

    I can't blame Handy for my mistakes, he can't speak up for himself so I'll have to fess up.....
