OK guys and gals...I got some bad news about the rest of my "SLUMLORD" and trailer. The guy I bought this from screwed me, and I won't be getting the rest of the truck-trailer But that hasn't made me want to give up. I want eveyone's input on this...I was thinking light blue on the truck and trailer's frames to contrast the other shades of blues.
If you have a color that you think would look better, let me know
I am also thinking of some idea's of blue neon under the truck-trailer, and blue led's on the back of the sleeper, and so on.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx, Big John

Sorry to hear about the rest of the truck deal, but glad your not gonna give up

As for the light blue i am not really sure, what could help is that the frame rails your not gonna use i would paint those first with the light blue color let it dry then sit the cab you have on the mock up rails and look at it from all angles and even post here what it looks for more input.

To me it seems the light blue would maybe take away from the cab as light blue does really stand out.

To me i see it sitting on a dark blue frame or even black, which i would think it would help the cab stand out. Also i think black or dark blue wouldn't take away from the cab paint job.

Just my thoughts.

Mike

Thank you Bruce, if I could only paint like that

Mike, you changed my mind for me. I think I will go with dark blue. You said the light blue take away from the bodies, and I think you are right. Dark blue it is

Thanx again fella's, Big John

Bigg Redd, I just wish I could paint like that. Actually Ryno from the show trick my truck painted the bodies, and it was just pure luck I came across these pieces.

Hi big John, just to add to that maybe once the chassis rails are painted how about some scroll / line work on the side of the rails to compliment the pain job as that's a lot of chassis you have exposed there.......

Cheers Tracy

I would highly advise you to atleast a little bit of a stretch on the frame. As soon as its all painted and finished sitting on stock length rails, and u bring it out to a meet or show and see some of the length on the other trucks in comparison to stock you will wish you had a little bit of that large car frame stretch, by the way I agree with the dark blue or black frame color. If its dark blue you should do some kind of scrolling or two tone inlay.

BRICKNICK, I do like the stretched frames, but I wasn't planning on a streched frame for this because as you can tell the farrings are not on the sleeper. But you got me thinking, I could go 3 or 4 inches. You think that will be enough?

Thanx, Big John

Hi Big John, you were saying "because as you can tell the farrings are not on the sleeper" why not get some nice aluminium ones made and even get them engraved and that would solve that problem??? I'm sure one of the talented vendors here could do that for you.....or some K&S Stainless Steel Strip like this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...DBK%2BS&P=6&S=

Cheers Tracy

Tracy, I never even thought of stainless farrings, that would add some bling. As I like to say, "OOH SHINEY" LOL!!! If one of the vendors would like to attempt to make some, I have an idea. If someone could engrave the name SLUMLORD down each side, I think that would really set the whole theme of the truck off. Thank you a million Tracy.
Tracy, I know there's stainless that you can cut with scissors, do you know what thickness that would be? I do a lot of buisness with tower hobbies.
I would like to add stainless to the trailer also.
I really appreciate all of the input you fella's have on this project.
I want this to be the "best of show" in my fleet.

Thanx again, Big John

Here's some pics of my Kw I sold a lil while ago, it has a 60inch aerodyne sleeper with no farrings and a 285inch wheelbase not much extra room between sleeper and trailer, so I think you should still add some frame stretch

That is a killer paint job...this is going to be very nice when finished. I agree on the stacks, sorry - maybe lose 2 inches and they will look perfect. I'm liking where you are going with this, God speed!
