[1985 kenworth]

i split the knighthauler roof cap in half and attached it to the roof only to find out ,this made the cab sit too height too high ,so i removed it and shaved it down and reattached it now purely for strength and rigidity

[1985 kenworth]

this is the look i am going for ..while the frame was drying from paint i have another extra frame ,this one is for my 95 Western Star ,i wanted to see what it looked like .it will have Bens monster turnout pipes and it will have a custom bumper as well as the driver will carry a scale matching white ninja bike with him.some were expecting a vintage chopper ,but i felt this gent is a young guy and the truck is not really vintage so this is my vision on this .pipes are just sticky taped on and i will be scratchbuilding the time period air cleaner and the front axle will have the heavy duty supersize balloon tires ,just to be different

still lots more to do and lots of fine sanding to get the parts to fit snug and perfect before the prime and paint

[1985 kenworth]

for the rear of the cab i decided to do something different..usually there are 2 long stacked air breathers looming up the back to the top and facing the front ...well i want Frostbite to be alittle different .i decided to use the breathers from the kinghauler and join them into one intake at the rear of the cab.i scratchbuilt the double to single intake using evergreen styrene tubing and shaped it to fit both ..this will be another signature mod on my truckhttp://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/Mobile%20Uploads/20150802_115600_zpsrb2rfx2x.jpg (http://s1085.photobucket.com/user/1985kenworth/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150802_115600_zpsrb2rfx2x.jpg.html)

[1985 kenworth]

using the stock globeliner steps i redid them to look more like the cabover freightliner steps by cutting one ..bolting them together to cut the opposite one the same and using styrene strips i heated it and bent it to the ciontours of the steps and this is what i ended up with which looks better i think

the decals were done by my good friends michelle and rob boutillier from Krawler Konceptz out of New Brunswick Canada.they do any and all custom decals and this is their first custom truck and trailer unit combo with decals they are on facebook and have a website ..tell them you saw "Frostbite"

thanks lynn for the kind words ..its been a long build and me being picky did not help either:)..glad you like it :D:D

[blitzk]

Wow Dwayne!!! That is one incredible build!!! Looks fantastic! Great job, sir!!!

[jjackso5]

Dwayne, wow what a great jobs. Great project, looks well thought out and executed from start to finish. I have enjoyed reading your posts following the build.

I may have missed it, is this your actual truck or a friends truck that you used as the subject of the model?

Thank you again, great job! Maybe I'll be able to see this in person someday.

Regards,

Jim

Another great looking truck Dwayne. I like how you made the carrier for the motorcycle.

thanks ...i always wanted to have a Cabover Freightliner Highrise ...but as you know you cannot get one unless its 3d printed and expensive,so i decided to scratchbuild it myself.I thought well somewhere around 89-92 and seeing that is was not technically vintage ,i figured everyone would like to see a Harley on it .I went the opposite and this whole entire truck and trailer unit is not based of of any truck.it was a thought that popped in my head and the name was already there...lol.thanks for looking and the interest:D:D

[aussie mack]

just curious but where did you get the frond wheel assemblies from i have been loking everywhere for that style

[BRICKNICK]

Wow Dwayne I'm a big fan of the bike holder. Almost like Richie Acosta project 350 Pete with his Harley on the back of his 350 inch wheelbase frame. Frostbite looks great buddy. I'm gonna throw it up on the instagram page when I get a chance.

[CustomCrawlerz]

Very nice looking truck sir. How long of build time did you put into it? The end result is fantastic.

[mcl fabrication]

Thanks for the follow on Instagram. Ive been checking out your builds also. I will be at the expo in PA this weekend hope to see you there.

[NORM]
