[Espeefan]

Nice updates, Goose! Keep'em coming. I know that's not easy this time of year. My own build has lost some momentum with summer, but nice to still see some progress. Looking at your trailer photo and your explanation of the webbing, I see exactly what you did. Nice.

I have wanted to see finished your trailer

[RodneyO]

This is a awesome build.Like the trailer so far.I'm gonna try building my own lowboy myself.

[Goose19]

thanks guys.

im waiting on a few parts before i can continue on, im looking for a mfu also, but im too cheap to pay for a new one when i only plan to use the sound, i have my own plan for lights.

Looking good! I really like the paint colors excellent choice! the trailer is looking really good too!. keep up the great work.

so, once upon a time, long long ago, i drew up a grill for this truck. i finally got around to sending it off to russ, and this is what i got back





now somewhere along the line my crayola crayons got mixed up and the grill came out a touch long.....i think it was the program i originally drew it up with didnt agree with the milling program. not sure what im going to do about it, but even at that, it looks alot perty-er with a grill and headlights.

its hard to see without the backing i have yet to make, im thinkin some screen painted silver or black.

Don't worry Alan. It should be easy to modify the front-end. Just make some front metal plates to come up under the head-lights like in the this photo:



It should look good, help hide the spacing, and make an amazing build look just that much better.

Good luck.

You could also have the front bumper notched to fit around the bottom of the grille. Wouldn't look that out of place either. Some Kenworth trucks have such an arrangement. Your grille does look pretty nice though!

thanks guys, i dont feel as bad for goofing on it, i actually thought of both ideas too, the stainless rock guards or a gullwing bumper, but i think im going to have another one made for this one, and build a second KW, a T-800H model. looks like a W900B with a setback axle. it'll likely be my heavy spec truck, and this one will be the highway queen

[Goose19]

Update Time!!!!!!

well kinda. it lights up now, except head lights and turn signals... still working on those....







its harder than i thought to get a decent pic of it all lit up... too many lights!

thanks for lookin'!

Thanks guys.

im never putting that many lights that close together again thats for sure! ive still got a bunch to get in the bumper yet aswell

[1985 kenworth]

in that case then you will never have to use your headlights to see or be seen

[FreerideW900]

Awsom

[JAMMER]

I would just extend the fenders down and leave it alone. I looks more like W900L now they always look like the shell is long , taller and narrow. Just my 2 cents. I would like that grill with the 7 bars in it. Ed
