I also got a new King Pin Plate milled out of derlin that Lynn made for me I am trying it out for him. They are just perfect and there is much less friction between the trailer and 5th wheel also the derlin wont mark up the painted 5th wheels like the alum plate does.

I am about finish up the KW 396 Oil Rig Prime mover. I finished up the front bumper and the grill so the chassis was off to paint. I got the hole frame tore down and etch primed and then base prime then 4 coats of single stage paint on top. Then I was able to start putting the chassis back together so here are some picks.

Re: Oil Field Prim Mover KW 396

Wow! This thing is stunning. I love how you painted the Tamiya transmission and motor Cat yellow. I was kicking around the idea of doing it to my truck as well and seeing it has sealed it's color fate. The big tires and paint just make the truck. She looks great. Good job Cowboy!http://www.reddead.net/forums/images...2_b/cowboy.gif

Dan Thanks much for your comments. I really like the cat yellow on the tranny I have a few of my trucks done that way and the paint on the truck is a signal stage fleet color so very easy to touched up if marked.

Bob Again thanks for your many kind words. As for your questions the rears are tamiya semi axles with RC4wd straight axle ends on them and the front is a tamiya TLT axle witch is a semi axle with C's and knuckles on it. As for my bench I try to keep it very clean as when it is not is causes stress then I don't think straight. :D
