Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps01d79e93.jpgi used the frame rails from the kinghauler kit for the extended look,it will have the texas square bumper with holes for the l.e.d.s. it will have a full set of tandem fenders on it also.the ones on it now for looks are my extra spare set of fenders for my optimus prime build .not sure whether to go with the polished stainless look rear fenders or the painted to match the truck colour fenders..what do you think?.i also have on a set of aluminum rims from integy.there will be lots more custom things added and will post as i build it...watch for updates:)

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
I like the idea of updating the look of that truck!! I also love those rear fenders, make another set or keep those. Also some big stacks would look awsome. Keep up the good work!!!!!

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
I totally dig your concept with the todays version! I could see painted or aluminum fenders on this rig, also some nice stacks and visor. To me if you do that, and its all shiny then the fenders should be also. I really like the paint job also. Nice build! :D

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
I say polished fenders, but then you have to do the same on the trailer....nice polished quarter fenders on the trailer too match. You'll have enough paint matching going on between the tractor n trailer, add the bling now. Just my thoughts.

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
Nice looking Kenworth,id say put polished fenders on the tractor and trailer, that would look hot,maybe even a spread axle on the reefer

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
Looking good duane, can't wait to see this one in person. It was my second favourite rig of all time, just a hair behind the snowman's rig from bandit!

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
Awsome looking truck I have the tri axle reefer made by Tamiya and removed the center axle so it is a spread axle reefer and put a set of polished custom built tool boxes between the existing two axles. That would look insane for this build. Just a thought.

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
Looking real good Duane, nice job. I'd go with the polished rear fenders as well. Keep us posted.
|
Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
yep i am goin g for the polished fenders with the spread axle..not sure about the storage but i am definetely looking for a set of aluminum single wheel rear fenders.i was going to do both the truck and trailer but i don't know where i can get a set..i suppose i should get off my lazy butt and just make a set.but i am going for the polished look:D
|
Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2e16967a.jpghere is an update on this build.i decided to stretch the wheelbase abit longer than originally planned using russ's rails and i got alan(goose19) to drill out the frame rails for the suspension:D
|
Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps59b57a00.jpgjust sat the cab on the rails to get a general idea of what it will look like.more updates soon :bounce:
|
Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
That looks sweet!!! Looks like another awesome build. Can't wait for more updates.
|
Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
I'm all for an updated version of the truck. Longer wheelbase, big drop visor, ect. I like it! This probably one of the best know COEs ever.
|
Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3314c754.jpghere is where i am at so far with the tractor,everything dry fitted now i will be actually installing .i won't keep the hump fenders for the tractor,i will be going for the full tandem aluminum set and keeping these for the trailer instead

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps286a2d4b.jpgrear shot of the truck and as you can see...still lots to do yet before its complete.i think ben's(snochaser) monster turnouts round out this truck so far..what do you think?...more updates on the way:D

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
very Nice !

Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer
That's looking pretty cool. I was hoping you'd go with a big drop visor, painted, or polished. They look so much better then the stock jobs that Kenworth offered from the factory. If it was my truck, I would go with a set of full fiberglass style fenders, painted to match the truck. Just like this...
