Little update had a good friend of mine paint it for I got too many irons in the fire right now with the hobby and work so Mike painted it and did a killer job on it so Thank You Very Much Mike.. So here are some update picks.. Got these awesome door handles Russ made for me sanded and polished witch was not easy it all.. Made a radio antenna for the drivers side of the cab this is not a CB antenna.. Took 2 small flat head screws and took a file and V'd out the slot so the antenna wire fit in it. Then took very lite gauge copper strand wire and wrapped it around the wire and screw head back and forth. Then brushed flux all over the head and wire then soldered it and this is what you end up with. Then here are some poser picks.. I polished up one of Travis's great KW grills and polished up a Texas Blank and a set of AC's From IHB and added a set of Kenworth emblems and Swan from PMD that is where I am now.. So now I am waiting on some MFU lights I ordered from tamiya USA and a rear shaft from Rc4wd and a set of FUEL TANKS! and I can finisher her up..

Re: Tracy Reiks 1978 A Model KW. "GETTING THERE"
Awesome build! There was a guy that used to haul a.c. to the hotplant that had this exact same truck in 1:1. I'm going to show him this, he will flip. I Really like the mirror brackets. Did you make them?

Re: Tracy Reiks 1978 A Model KW. "GETTING THERE"
Really nice work, Paul. Out of all the trucks you've built, I think I'd pick this one as a favorite. Probably your IH COE also, but this one just looks sharp. I like the antenna and the mirror brackets too. Did you paint or chrome those parts after making them? It almost does look like chrome to me, but I can't tell for sure. Beautiful.

Re: Tracy Reiks 1978 A Model KW. "GETTING THERE"
What an update!!! That is one killer truck, I am sure the guy this is for is dying to get his hands on it!
I have one question; what did you use for the mesh behind the grille? I have found that that mesh really adds a lot of realism! Sweet rig, I can't wait to see some headlights on it!

Re: Tracy Reiks 1978 A Model KW. "GETTING THERE"
Think I'll have to go with Nate on this one Paul, amazing build! Love the radio antenna idea and the door handles look just like the ones on my 1:1 kw.

This is a solid 10/10 build, a fair bit of shine but not too much. I can't wait to see it hooked to a trailer.

Re: Tracy Reiks 1978 A Model KW. "GETTING THERE"
Wow looks really good Paul. Mirror brackets? The paddle latches Russ did are nice! I may be in the market for 8 of them. The paint and lines are crisp as can be! Did you paint this one?
