Ok here is the new rig in the fleet.. ;D I went down the KS to do some biz and met up with Ed and picked up some parts and another rig from him. The body is the best hand made body I have seen it is a perfect match to the kenny right down to the molding around the windows.
Here is a list of what is on it. Custom made poly Kenworth body 3 racing full alloy rims Custom made kenny steps Custom made tanks Custom made rear light plate Custom made grill EBH air ride EBH fenders PMD 4:1 Alloy gear reduction Doc Gear sound unite Futaba 6EXAP remote PMD Blank PMD Swan PMD Drive Shaft Custom Lights and Stacks http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1784.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1787.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1786.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1785.jpg |

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.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1821.jpg |

http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...oy/Tamiya1.gif 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.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1826.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1829.jpg |
New Dash and mirrors and driver with the windows rolled down.
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1827.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_1830.jpg 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. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...oy/Tamiya1.gif |
Well I got most of my wiring done on this truck..I polished and wired the light plate got everything fitted in the cab I am working on the cab now I have the high and low beams wired as well as the blinkers I am now working on the 10 roof lights. Then I will still have to wire the 8 sleeper lights and I am waiting on PMD air cleaners to come in and i will have 4 lights on each side of the air cleaner too boot..

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.. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_2169.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_2171.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_2172.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...y/IMG_2172.jpg |

My favorite truck of yours Paul, outstanding work!!
|
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??

Hi Tamiya Cowboy,
What a mighty fine beast you have well done does that light bar on the sleeper work and where did those KW badges come from ? Cheers Cossett |
Absolutely amazing truck Paul this one deserves a 5 star rating.

Re: Kw w900l
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.
