I got tall the frame work and body painted this weekend I still have 2 more coats of clear to do next weekend on the body I was not able to get it on there with the rain that came in today.

I have a lot to do still but coming along nice I think. I is hard to get good picks of it with the flake in the paint and the shine on the body..

got the paint work all finished up on my KW900 and got some of it back together and am now just waiting for the MFU to show for it. I put bird screen on the stock air cleaners and also put PMD tank straps on the tanks, built some new stacks and then took the chrome KH dash out of my some Hong Kong Hauler and also the clear glass out of his truck and put it in the KW with a GI Joe ghuy at the wheel and then made some mirrors out of King Hauler to fit the KW. So here is what I ended up with today..

I still have to paint all the window trim and put in the smoked lexan windows in the sleeper plus wire the MFU and extra lights control

I also got the frame work painted on the green pete and I am putting it back together right now and the MFU came in for it as did the punisher shafts. Stay Tuned.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well after many hours this weekend I have been able to finish my Kenworth W900L. I got all the MFU and extra lighting done on the truck but I am planing to add more down the road. I got the strips on it along with the hood emblems and also a new sun visor. Also trimmed the sleeper windows out with flat black for the gaskets and then smoked lexan for the windows and finished with 8 bunk lights in the back of the sleeper.

I do have a new set of PMD air cleaners coming for it and new steps in the works. I am also going to put a lighted bulk head between the fuel tanks with blue lights in them.

I will get some picks of all the lights on tomorrow I have to charge a battery and get another E-Flight plug..

My favorite truck of yours Paul, outstanding work!!

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Thanks there little buddy I am not going to put all my builds in one thread anymore easyer to find for people..

Sounds like a good idea, only think I see with that is that when we get bigger you might have to search abit more but that should be better than goin thru a 40+ page thread. When we gonna see more new builds from ya??

[CatdrvR]

Another awesome truck. I really like the choice of colors. the blue flake really makes it stand out. I have been looking for those running lights for quite some time, any place you can recommend where I can get them? Tamiya says they are out of stock on there site. I am looking to put them on a Mack truck.

Dan

[MadMax]

Steve.

[Tamiya Cowboy]
