Smile Re: BJ and The Bear KW with Reefer Trailer

Dwayne, once you finish the BJ & the Bear, maybe you could revisit the idea of building a Neil Yates Recovery K100.
That would be an awesome build. I know several of us would be interested in seeing it built.

Looking good Dwayne, can't wait to see a modern version of a classic movie/tv truck. I've got a modern version of a classic iconic truck build planned to begin soon. Now finish this beauty up n post the pics ...the suspense is killing me.

Nice updates! The headlights and headlight bezel surrounds catch my eye. Those look great. Any hints as to where you got them, or how you made them?

the bezels were made from thin sheet styrene and the lens are made from the crazy eyes package you find in the craft stores ,.they are called crazy eyes and the are flat eyeballs with a black round plastic piece inside that look like pupils of the eyes and the roll around inside .they come in different sizes and you cut out the backs take out the black piece and trim of the access ,as you see the front lense part is crystal clear and they make great headlight lens
