Default Kenworth W900L (daycab)

Well here goes my attempt at a 900L. I've been gathering parts for quite some time and doing a little work here and there for the past month or two. Still gathering parts as I go. If I can't do the body work any justice at least it will be a good showcase for the vendors parts. I am not doing everything to scale, just to what I can figure with my eye and pictures. I do plan on installing lights for the first time on this truck too.

So.. I extended the cab






Made my own personal rear window



Made a mold for the hood so I could make it one piece



heated the styrene in the oven (first to 300 then up to 350 to tighten up to the form) then trimmed it up





filler/massage/filler/massage





Used Troy's technique for shaping the fenders




Still a long ways to go but feeling pretty good about my progress.
