all dressed up and nowhere to go

[Roundabout]

You know the feeling when you get a little carried away when ordering parts, got this in the post today, 2,7 kilo around 4,5 pounds of aluminium, and I still haven´t ordered a truck for the parts, guess its gonna be a grand hauler.

Should look great! Good plastic work, Styrene is really great to work with.

[Izzy]

Rene - nice fill work.

Travis taught me to take a seperately bottle of our styrene glue and put little pieces of styrene in it from our cutting and carvings. The pieces disolve and add filler to the glue. Helps fill moderate gaps.

Thank you thebat.
I just cut the sleeper in four pieces, glued the sides together, and then I trimmed the top until i thought it looked the way it should ;)
rear end is left stock, didn't want a truck that could run only with one trailer, tried that already :confused:

there are some pics in the link of my first King Hauler, stretched and dropped!

[thebat]

awesome thanks and thsoe trucks look sick as well one more question that i forgot to ask what do you use to cut the cabs up with will a dremel tol with a cut off wheel work okay or is there something better thansk again and cant wait to see how this one turns out.

[Roundabout]

usually I use a dremel, but for the front fenders i used a thread, drilled a little hole next to the headlight, put at thread through and pull it back and forth, it can make a pretty clean cut if you know what you are doing, mine was far from clean ;)

[thebat]

okay cool thank you i appreciate your help and time to give me some information on this im waiting on my grand hauler kit to arrive and want to do soem of the mods you did to the body thanks again

Thank you Bigford, i've been trying to find a 1/14 scale shotgun I could use for at gearstick, but cant seem to find one, I'm trying to fid a balance between modern and oldschool custom. I got a mercury sleeper for it, I got of of ebay, but it got a long way to go before it looks like the one in the picture, its a bit more rough around the edges then i thought it would be.

Love this build. All the shiny bits look great, its something to consider other than painting them. It'll be my first time cutting and working a body. Looks like you have a lot of practice the way some of interior and ext mods came out, very nice!

[jjackso5]

Great looking build, very much enjoying following your build posts. What is the source for the aluminum rear ends (differentials)?

Thank you for the information,

Jim

thanks Jim :rolleyes:
I really cant remember where I got them, maybe rcbmin.com or rigid.com , they are just shells and uses tamiya differential parts so they aren't that pricey

[Scott M]

I'm curious, why is it popular to move the front axle forward, and cut the front fenders like you have?
Thanks!!

I fucking hate these trucks sometimes, got this pretty awesome "kenworth" frontend from shapeways, everything is dandy, cut the hood of my king hauler, minor rebuild in front of the windscreen, so I'm sitting here at my work table smiling planning everything can't wait to ship it of to the painter, even talked to the painter yesterday, bragging about how great its gonna be when it get the custom blend green paint I got made for it, and then I kinda look at my new hood, and my polished aluminum grill doesn't fit, it's about half an inch to low, so now I got around 7 pounds of aluminium parts, just about ready to throw everything out the window...

These projects can make you go insane. It's looking awesome though. Keep up the great work.

Made myself a rear bumper for the rustbucket today, had some leftover parts from a Grand Hauler, the bottom part is staying chrome and the rest is being painted.

Thank you Izzy, as mentioned above, it pretty much my first real attempt with styrene, I got an old bottle of glue where the tube is broken, I'll try to put some of the shavings in it ;)

I have had great success using the same principle with a great solvent glue call MEK sold through a lot of Model Railway shops and the Hobby Shops that full on just Hobby not with toys stocks... :) :cool:

Gave it a try at making some diamond "leather" Interior today, I'm thinking it's gonna take a couple tries more before it's gonna look okay :) it was nit a difficult as I thought it would be, but still a couple hours on mynfirst attempt.

Thank you Bigford, i've been trying to find a 1/14 scale shotgun I could use for at gearstick, but cant seem to find one, I'm trying to fid a balance between modern and oldschool custom. I got a mercury sleeper for it, I got of of ebay, but it got a long way to go before it looks like the one in the picture, its a bit more rough around the edges then i thought it would be.

[skeeter]

Where did you source the KW grill from? I've already got the KW grill badge, & see that the grill you have is PERFECTLY shaped for placement of the KW badge. I'd like to get one. The one's I seem to find are all around the $40-$60U.S.D. price range. Seems a bit steep to me for such a small piece.

I cant remember where I got it, maybe rigidrc or rcbrmin, had it laying around for a couple years before I started this build.
