Dwayne, once you finish the BJ & the Bear, maybe you could revisit the idea of building a Neil Yates Recovery K100.
That would be an awesome build. I know several of us would be interested in seeing it built. :D :D

Looking good Dwayne, can't wait to see a modern version of a classic movie/tv truck. I've got a modern version of a classic iconic truck build planned to begin soon. Now finish this beauty up n post the pics ...the suspense is killing me.

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
 

finally finished up the details for this tractor.using aluminum sheet i cut and sanded and polished and made a set or rear full tandem fenders,made the catwalk out of styrene and covered it with mirror polished chrome wrap.soldered extended wires on the tractor side of the trailer light cord ,truck wheelbase is long.still working on the trailer,should be done soon http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...psde0bc7d3.jpg

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
 

I like the updated version of this truck. There is something about going old school, you can't beat it!!

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
 

Nice updates! The headlights and headlight bezel surrounds catch my eye. Those look great. Any hints as to where you got them, or how you made them?

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
 

seeing that BJ is an independant trucker and hauls anything anywhere anytime here are a few more pics for yah http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7d2fde54.jpg

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
 

the bezels were made from thin sheet styrene and the lens are made from the crazy eyes package you find in the craft stores ,.they are called crazy eyes and the are flat eyeballs with a black round plastic piece inside that look like pupils of the eyes and the roll around inside .they come in different sizes and you cut out the backs take out the black piece and trim of the access ,as you see the front lense part is crystal clear and they make great headlight lens

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
 

That was a great idea !!! can't get enough of those bezels ;o)
Thank You Sir
