Some tasty parts there, enjoy fitting them. After a good sleep of course!

Hello all ,

I must now proclaim my first rc semi complete.... sure, there's always something else to add or change but I realize my truck and trailer, with all the extra's ( from arizona, hong kong , germany ) cost me just under $2,000 grand total.... So instead of investing more in "Super Bling" , I'm buying another truck this fall to build next winter.
I plan on another KH but it will be the total opposite to Super Bling. All black, zero bling. Nothing but gloss and flat black with a few chrome hilights ( fuel tank straps, battery box black with chrome steps, air cleaner straps chrome.....)

So here's the last pics of the Super Bling build. I'm working on building a road in my back yard to film some video's of the truck doing what I intended it for......HAUL BEER! Video's coming soon! Thanks for lookin.

Thanks Swagger, That's it exactly, ying and yang. Now that you say it, you gave me a great idea. I'll get decals made that say YYT ( ying yang trucking ) and as a company logo I'll use the ying n yang symbol. I can already picture the two rigs parked next to each other and the effect it will create.

Maybe I can't wait for next winter........lol

[SWAGGER]

That's what I pictured in my head when I said it, I think that would be very cool. The ying yang logo in black and chrome like this:

[Supermario]

Yes. With ying n yang along The top edge of the circle and trucking around the bottom....a Chinese type font.....perfect . Simple but effective. Easy to make.
Thanks again swagger!

[SWAGGER]

Ah no worries, it's cool to bounce ideas around until they take shape. Best of luck!

Sweet!

oh oh remember mario we live in canada so make sure it will pass emissions

[Supermario]

LOL, how true. It's all about the emissions nowdays. The electronic engines of today can create so much horsepower but are set low to meet emissions....no more pulling out your fuel injection pump rack tooling and " turning things up a bit".

Not sure if the smoke generator is going to stay on my truck, I've heard reports that the smoke can leave an oily residue and if true......if I get one microscopic drop of the stuff on Super Bling, thats it, smoke will be gone!

got some more done on Super Bling today. Deceided to start laying out how things are going to fit in the sleeper.

something like this.....



then an idea came to mind. I want to be able to remove the battery without having to move or disconnect stuff so , using nothing but leftovers from my trailer, I made a rack and shelf out of the vertical stake from the flatbed and remnants of the front plate.










its not the best looking but , it works!
Also, after almost 4 hrs of work I got a deck plate made for the 5th wheel servo. Unfortunately the plate i had to work with was not long enough to cover entire deck so I installed the original to fill it in for now. Wow, there is not much room for error when installing that servo! Turned out that the frame rail extension mounting bolts are right where the servo needs to be. It took alot of trimming and grinding to get it in there!






Thats it for now, time to get back at er......thanks for looking

Thanks for the heads up. This smoke generator thing is a experiment. The cons are: white smoke not black , leaves a oily residue , lack of durability . The pros are: ????? Haven't found one yet. Maybe that's why I don't see many trucks with smoke? Come to think of it, today's electronic engines don't smoke! .......Atention ! Smoke generator for sale ! Never used! Lol

Thanks, glad you like it....I wanted to wait until all is done to post pics but i cant wait!...all thats missing is Johns mitered bull stacks.... enjoy!

using an old step from the plastic fuel tanks I cut it to size and made a step for my new space behind the sleeper.



I cut the heads off of cotter pins to make air line ends lool like glad handles!...lol













Thats it for now. Thanks for lookin

Thanks Aaron , glad you like the stretched look. So do I ......don't matter how much bling you put on a truck if it don't look right eh?

[dmess62]

Much better with the stretch. It would be nice if the stock truck trucks came with a little longer rails. The trailer looks good also
