Here it is sporting a coat of red paint and straight pipes. The mirrors are custom, made from brass wire for brackets and styrene for the mirror. Looks pretty good on the cattle pot.

Go Big Red - Pete 379 & Friends
I have been waiting for my new Pete 389 design to arrive from Shapeways, and thought it would be a great time to finish a 379 that has been in the works for awhile now. I experimented with aluminum foil tape, the kind used for HVAC applications, and it makes nice shiny surfaces. The mirror tape that I have was simply to rigid to go around details like a fuel tank or air cleaners, but worked well on the KW 900 visors. I also was able to finish a trio of livestock trailers so I now have a larger set. I have a couple triple axle versions that need my attention now.
