That's a really cool side profile you've got going with this truck. I like the rear fenders. Are you finished reworking the fronts?

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Thank you!!!!!! I'm still working on the front fenders. I put them off too finish up the rear fenders, mounts and rear tail panel. I'll probably finish the hood next, then revisit the fronts. I won't stop till they are perfect!!!

Well I finally decided on what I'm going to do for head lights. Since my KW is turning out to be more of a custom largecar, I cut up the front bumper and installed the head lights there!!!! The head lights are from True Scale and I still need to bare metal foil them. I almost have to rear done too. Thanks for looking and more to come.

Very nice KW, love the custom stuff.. What wheel base are you working from??

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

It sits on 30" frame rails. I want it to look kinda like a 350 WB:)

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Coming along nicely! I do wonder though.....what some single round Peterbilt style headlights would look like on your KW. I've seen a few 1:1 Kenworth trucks running them, and it's different and unique. Looks kind of cool, in my opinion. Even cooler with the visors on them.

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Wow wolf that baby is looking great. I had the same 94 W900L less of a stretch and standard headlights of course. I really need to build my truck someday. How complicated was it to build that aerodyne sleeper? And would you do it again? LOL

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

It wasn't complicated at all. I had Probuilder make it for me. I could have made it, I dont have a time scratch build something that big, kids and all. Thanks for the comments.

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Small update: I've got a complete chassie!!!!! :D

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

I took a while to reply to your post to see if those head lights grew on me. I think you may be right about the round head lights. You must have read my mind Espeefan. :D

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Man that truck is bad a$$!!!!

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

I think the ones you currently have, but recessed flush into the bumper would be a great look.

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Thank you so much!!! :D

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Thank you. I'm going to try to set them in the bumper more and then mybe make visors for them. We'll see how it works out.

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Awesome rig! really blew me away. i actually was looking through this build and thought to myself that i liked how it was ooking without headlights and thought about them in the bumper. then continue on and there you have it. i think id have to agree with lilgiant tho i think it would look better recessed either way truck is amazing! keep up the great work cant wait to see it finished!

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

and another thought as i looked at it again what about leds across the bottom of the bumper and use half for each turn signal? i think would look cool myself just an idea. just thought maybe id through that out there.

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Thank you for the kind comments!!!!! I'll figure it out the front bumper eventually. Right now I'm doing dreaded body work.

Small update: All the things on the cab are finally mounted! Got the clearance lights, horns, air cleaners and lights. The fenders are mounted also. I fixed the visor so it doesn't cover the doors. I don't know what style stacks i'm going to use(kinda liking these strait ones today). I can now start to finish the body work. Thank you.

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Really coming along nicely and it looks the part of a real decked out KW ...I like the aerodyne sleeper and aluminum tanks,boxes...etc....one thing that sticks out to me tho is the black air cleaner intake pipe..it looks kinda small? Or will you be covering that with aluminum trim like some guys add on?


Keep the updates coming

Re: CORVETTE RACING
 

Thank you!!!! I have to agree with you on the air cleaner tube. It's one that comes with the PMD ac's. I have no Idea if I'm going to make shields for them or make somthing different? :D
