That is pretty sweet! I like it. The cab looks great, and the grill and lights match the look. I know you're just mocking up, but the front bumper looks like it's upside down. Lights on the top? Looking forward to seeing it done.

Also got some rims in...Not sure which ways to go just yet, so i figure I would get everyones input on what style rims would look good...Gotta thank danial for the last two sets of rims..Amazing craftsmanship

First

RC4WD Aluminum rims Rims with Russilouds Rear Hubs

Daniels First set..8 Hole... Won't have any rears till I decide the style I am gonna go with...Not your typical alcoa's...Going for a custom look for the rig


http://i334.photobucket.com/albums/m411/ajmiskinis72/Globe%20rebuild/IMG_4092.jpg



Daniels Second Set 12 Hole.. I really am liking these

Love the build so far, but you lost me with the wheel selections. i think that the stock wheels look better then those particular after market wheels. I feel all those wheels make it loose its scale look and give it a "toy truck" look. Just my opinion, truck looks fantastic so far. Nice work, keep it up.

Kind of partical to the the 12 hole rims, myself. They look good and are something different from the norm. I say run with them!

Lookin good Alfy. I like the 12 hole rims, but the only problem with them is the 12 lugs.

The only other problem I can see is with the A/C. the K100's had a guard around the front inlet so that the wheels could not fill the A/C with water and crap.

Still have a few things I need to figure out still

Running boards or not..Woiuld consist of using Knighthauler running boards..Only issue woith that is that they are not long enough to sit underneath for the tool box

Not sure If I shoul do a scoop for the sleeper

And like I said, not sure about the fenders

Thank for looking

That is the sickest, badest if that is a word kenworth out there awsome job so far can't wait to see it finished and painted. I like the full fenders myself. I hope you are able to get the exhaust to look like the original and are able to mount them to the rear of the cab that would look insane. Good luck and again awsome job

Not usually a fan of huge sleepers but this looks so bad to the bone I've been converted! Especially with the full fenders. This will be a showstopper when you finish it. What colour scheme are you going to go for?

@big600
The top was made by a member on here for me



Well, I am still at this thing, at a snails pace none the less :o

I figured I would give it a try on making up my own grab handles...After some trial and error and talking with steve on how these can get done, I was finally able to come up with something that would work and came up with these..they need to get cleaned up some, but for the most part these should do nicely

I sent the trailer to Rick (AKA Probuilder1964) to build and do the same paint scheme for but apparently he has gone missing.....I have been trying to get the trailer and the parts for the truck I sent to him to get painted back from him since OCT, but cant find him.....He has stopped returning my emails and apparently his phone has been disconnected as well

Right now the project is in limbo :mad::mad::mad:

Well alfy I'm really sorry to hear that. I do hope you get your stuff back and finish this baby. We need another sick k100 rolling around the board n at meets. Btw can you post or shoot me a pic of you two matching Petes together. I was trying to post the puc of your 362 n 379 together on the instagram page but all your posted pics in the thread are dead. Except the cabover by itself. So I posted it and the page blew up. It's a big hit. I think the pic with both together would get an even better response. Tour 379 was a hit by itself as well.

Body paint is complete...Project is about 80% done at this point, its just a matter of putting the items on it.....Plenty of goodies still to come


I initially sent the fuel tanks to be painted to Rick Hopkins (AKA Probuilder ) But since he has disappeared I can no longer put on the those parts...I had to purchase the parts all over again..I have been waiting for my parts since OCT (trailer, fuel tanks, too much to list) right around the time he has disappeared..so who knows where those parts are now :cop::cop::cop::mad:

I am forced to keep the tanks aluminum..Gonna see if I get to work on it this weekend and get it closer to completion
