Most likely yes, I plan on detailing under the hood as much as I can after everything else is completed. Thanks Speedy

Thanks Speedy.

I got my stainless deck plates on and finished the sleeper lights, I put two 3mm lights in the sleeper base to reflect some orange off the inside of the tanks.

Keith, it's a perfect paint job. Very clean color breaks, and I know I'd be pretty apprehensive about painting an extra pin stripe like you decided to do too. Especially after the color separations ended up being so clean the first go around. Heck, I can't even paint single colors as nice as you can do a multi-color scheme. Really nice work. I had thought about doing some kind of under cab lighting on my KW, sort of like you did with the sleeper, but with a few more lights. Nice touch.

Thanks Nathen,

I was a little nervous about touching the paint, so I cheated and did this with 1/16" pin stripe tape. Looks pretty good. I have a buddy who pin stripes all my Harleys and Choppers that I build who has an amising hand, I may let him have a go at this one. we'll see. As soon as I finish the front of the lighting I will be adding a few more lights for some underglow effect. Not to many! hopefully just enough. Are you talking about your 1950 KW adding lights?

Small update, triple 3 is almost finished, cab and hood are aligned now, cab lights all finished. And triple three got hitched. I know this trailer has been around a lot but I think it fits well with this rig.

Thanks Aaron, I've wanted this trailer since you first posted pics of it. Now I have to decide screw drive or wet kit? I want the screw drive but after looking at the frame, wet would be a lot easier.

We will see.

That truck looks sweet! Orange, black and silver is a nice combo. The hinge design is very creative, and the engine looks great! It puts that trailer to shame.

Nice trailer, for sure. Is that Jammer's old Komatsu loader, under the table?
