I decided that this is going to be a Day Cab Kenworth...
So first thing I needed to do is "cut" the sleeper cab off... ![]() I wanted the older style look like this one ![]() So I needed to get rid of the molded in headlights. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next will be patching and sanding the fenders down...

Gathered up all the stuff I needed...
Plastic Weld Lexan Scissors Xacto Knife Body Filler ![]() ![]() Now it was time time fix these fenders. ![]() First thing I did was get some thin, flexible styrene sheet to attach to the back to keep the contour of the fender and to close in the hood ![]() ![]() I then cut two pieces to fill in the top part and used the PlasticWeld to adhere it. ![]() Time to dry.

I then started on the back where the sleeper cab was attached.
First thing I needed to do was clean up the edges and cut a piece to fit it there as good as possible. Using tabs to hold the panel, I glued it in place... Then needed to add the rear window. ![]() The King Hauler has a Panel on the roof that I do not like. Looks like a sun roof that never was. So I glued it in place and covered all the mounting holes so I don't fill them with putty. ![]()

It was now time for filling in the gaps and lines.
For the fenders, I needed to make sure that I added a little more than needed so I can sand the curve of the fender. ![]() Next was the roof. You can see why I used tape to cover the accessory mounting holes...I would have had to clean everyone out. ![]() The back is going to be the hardest. I am thinking I will be doing two coats on it. ![]() It is now in the paint booth drying...this putty stinks... :confused0068:

![]() Here's the roof after a sanding ![]() ![]() Fenders are not bad...well the right wasn't...left needs some help ![]() ![]() Put a thin skim on and should be all I will need...I hope ![]()

Thanks guys...This is a slow build with all the other stuff going on.
Going to start on the utility boxes. Need to make sure I can get a decent size battery in there.
