Mr mopar Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Here some Cool Peterbilt 352 parts that will help make that kit look that much better .
leafsprings Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) Nice pieces, the Pete headlight surrounds and the Ford 8000 emblems are must have for next builds! Edited September 20, 2020 by leafsprings
Jim B Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 It would be nice if they could make the Ford logos for 8000 & 9000.
maxwell48098 Posted September 20, 2020 Posted September 20, 2020 Why only 1 Ford 8000 logo includes with that set as there is one on the left side of the hood, as well as one on the air intake on the right side. Looks like an Oops. Would have been nice to see the gas 700, 800, 900, along with the diesel 7000 and 9000 logos as well. Maybe they could do on with the logos and nose lettering, but without the grille? A.J.

Good point AJ. Lets get the complete upgrade kit. 2 8000 2 9000 and the newer larger grill as shown in photo. 2 900's would be nice if some builders want to put the 534 gas under the hood!
Jim B Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I find it odd that there is no way of contacting them on their Website to let them know of the logo oversight. Has anyone else tried to contact Detail Masters to let them know about this? I'd bet they'd sell more if the set had two logos be they L8000 or L9000.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 I’m going to make a big assumption here, but on the Louisville that I built a while back the emblem was very clean and defined on the intake side Of the hood but barely visible on the other side. I made a clay casting of the intake side emblem and made one out of resin for the other side. So I assume that the one emblem is meant to be for the driver’s side where the emblem is almost nonexistent. But that is just my guess. 1

When one buys a fret of photoetched scripts, it is to replace plastic with metal scripts. Photoetched scripts look realistic (since they are metal) and are easier to deal with (no foiling or painting the plastic script is required).
