I love the rear fenders with the lights built in. Looks sharp

[dmess62]

by the forgot to ask where the fenders came from

[1985 kenworth]

i got the fenders from steve stylin-n-profilin on the forum here

[1985 kenworth]

thanks glory days i thought about that but was not sure .ric lists the single headlights as diecast and the dual headlights as plastic.i will give him a call and my i say lovin that kiss truck of yours.always been a big fan of them since high school .even cooler to see a theme truck of one of your favorite bands

[1985 kenworth]

hey double d i'm finally getting my parts in i need to finish these builds so as fast as i get them .faster i can get them done although it seems like forever i have been looking at these unfinished projects

[Supermario]

Another sweet looking ride man ! Keep it up and you won't bob tail to Clifford next year, you'll need a trailer for all the sweet rigs .... By the way, I'm ready for your b train dude. Bring it on! . I can do it

Fenders turned out hot Dwayne. Good job

[ryman]

Looks great. I tried to build an Optimus at one time but just never finished it now the cab is modified into something else I need to finish. I also cant wait to see the paint.

[DuelTruckDriver]

Hey that turning out really freakin sweet!! I love me some T.F.'s. I like the blue anodized hub nuts also good match for Optimus. >Marty<

[Stylin n profilin]

Hey Dwayne....I see a problem with the fenders...I don't have them...so if you send them back I'll send you a new set..I have to do that with a set also but with square taillights

[1985 kenworth]

no problem john...

[PROBUILDER1964]

the problem sometimes with bondo ...guys it can eat or screw up the plastic ! i like to use a two part "epoxy sculpt" you just mix equal parts of the putty together smear it on...and it even can be fine smoothed with water ! once it dries to a super rock hard finish...you can sand it out to what you want. It never shrinks or hurts the plastic your working with ! once you try it and see how it works...you will never use anything else ! Also that green putty can bleed through your paint and you will have a dark shadow there all the time !

[1985 kenworth]

where can you get this stuff from.i did use the green crap until some members here informed me about the shrinkage so i sanded about 95% of it off ,i didn't use that much anyway.how long does it take to dry?

[1985 kenworth]

here are some updates on optimus .the flared swept look has been done on the front fenders and the intake hose hole has been covered so it will have the proper peterbilt breathers on it

[Goose19]

I may just have to send some of my stuff to your body shop, looks awesome!

[1985 kenworth]

here is the new reefer unit to replace the tamiya one on the trailer.this is a better replica of the actual unit on the transformers trailer,it appears darker but its the lighting and the picture is inside but it actually matches the blue on my trailer..its a slow process but i want this replica to mirror the actual truck and trailer..hope you like

[buzzy16]

The trucks looking great, can't wait to see the finished product.

[1985 kenworth]

Hey loaded heavy yea the third part he has a trailer that carries his weapons.they show it a few times very briefly but if you google it they have photos of it.it looks like its a utility brand stainless reefer trailer.and goose i think someone on here posted a link on here somewhere about this chroming process and the video shows it being applied by a spray bottle
They put a coating on something and add something then they spray a solution and as it runs on and spreads it chromes whatever they are doing and its mirror chrome.its unbelievable and there is a place near me that does it and apparently they can do anodized chrome colours too.i went on the website and they have a video of the process.....wow.i will try to find it again and post it here or at least the name of it.i am thinking of doing it if its not too expensive

right on. i have some of the chrome paint here, ive used it, but really cant be bothered to get all the equipment needed for my airbrush to be able to do it myself.....that and my lack of patience LOL

whats the name of the shop?

[civic83]
