White Road Boss.
I have decided to build an "Old School" Truck to pull my Flatbed Trailer.
This is the look I'm going for... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...8-112773-1.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...geDisplay3.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...ageDisplay.jpg I have made a start converting a KH Body, First thing was to remove the Bonnet, and try get the right look on the sides... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3440.jpg Next was to remove the top of the bonnet so I can "flatten" it... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3441.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3442.jpg Light Buckets will be removed as well and moved up a little to the right height level with the top of the guards...

Re: White Road Boss.
I am gonna do the sleeper the same, Tim,
I have started on it now, I'm re-sizing the Photo and getting my measurements from that, seems to be looking just about right so far...:confused: Coz the small access door on the 1:1 Photo is on the right hand side and it's on the left on the KH Sleeper, I had to cut the KH sleeper apart and change sides... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3447.jpg I didn't end up using the KH roof, I made my own... This is what I got so far... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3451.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3448.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3452.jpg Need more Styrene, gotta go shopping now...

Re: White Road Boss.
Looking good Paul. I do have one question for you though... Looking at the pictures of the 1:1 why did you cut off the headlight buckets on the hood. They were almost perfect?

Re: White Road Boss.
You're absolutely right, Mike,
When I compared it to the 1:1, the lights looked way too low, So I cut them off. When I layed the styrene across the top of the guards, it worked out to be just about spot on....Measure twice Cut once.... My Bad :rolleyes::rolleyes: Oh well, we live & learn :confused: On with the build, The Sleeper is slowly taking shape, Got the roof on now, A couple of pic's for ya... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3458.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3459.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3462.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3461.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3460.jpg Paul |
Re: White Road Boss.
Hi paul don't mean to hijack your thread but these pic's show the side of the triuck a little better,
Here's a better side view of the white (from itruck http://www.itruck.com.au/PhotoAlbum....=view&CatID=24)and the lights are slightly higher inline with the top of the fender with a taper on the front http://www.itruck.com.au/include/Ima...?PictureID=317 Cheers Tracy |
Re: White Road Boss.
No need to apologise, Tracy, I appreciate your input :D
These are the Pic's I'm working off, I am re-sizing them to get my measurements and as you say, the lights are just slightly higher than those of a KH, I think I got it about right now though... http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3468.jpg http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...k/100_3467.jpg Paul |
