[1985 kenworth]

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/SSPX3841.jpgalso added kw mudflaps to the front fenders with the rings on them they sway in the wind like the real ones:p

[SuperDutyScaler]

nice truck! Where did you get that Kdub grill from? Ive been looking for a while but i cant find one?

[SuperDutyScaler]

not to steal from your thread but i just checked the vender section and no one but Brian in Pa sells grills, and his are for Pete's?

[Stylin n profilin]

[BRICKNICK]

The truck looks great man, I have one of Travis' custom frills on my kh and i love it. Where did you get the KW logo for the fender mudflaps? I need some for my prjoect and can't come up with any.

[Izzy]

Nice bull hauler! I like the lighted bumper - really cool!

[1985 kenworth]

the grille is from travis ,i polished it myself and the mudflaps have the logo right on them and they are from the american toy company from the u.s.a. i think its called americantoycompany.com and click on the kenworth parts section the parts are 1/16 scale but the mudflaps fit and i got k-100 grilles and the kenworth nameplate from them also the prices are reasonable ..they also have peel and stick kw logos in black/white or red/white..check them out..thank you for looking and the comments..oh and izzy i do have a nice bull hauler....hmmmm:D..everywhere i go with it i get asked so many questions about it especially the farmers up here:p:p:p

[SuperDutyScaler]

tried americantoycompany.com and got this weird domain site?

thanks guys hey goose how's your build coming along:)

Just spent a decent percentage of my tax return on it, been waiting on frame rails......
Theyre on the way also, so be prepared! Lol

The only thing I'm trying to figure out is a grill, because I raised the cab I need a taller one.

[1985 kenworth]

is that grille for the kh or the globe?

[1985 kenworth]

did civic tell you about the meet and greet he is arranging this holiday friday at the ancaster fairgrounds? i am hoping i will be able to go as you know trucking is unpredictable :D

[Goose19]

did civic tell you about the meet and greet he is arranging this holiday friday at the ancaster fairgrounds? i am hoping i will be able to go as you know trucking is unpredictable :D

[Dairyland Trucker]

You've got the whole package there love that bumper, Russ does awesome work... He is ahead of his time and brings excellent products to the custom builder market... Love the cattle trailer it sure shines.

[1985 kenworth]

thank you for the compliments:D:D:D

[1985 kenworth]

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/SSPX5699.jpgat the urging of a good friend of mine who does custom airbrushing on real cars wanted to repaint my kw kinghauler zeus to go with the theme of zeus .he used 4 different shades of purple to get the colour and 10 or 11 coats of clear for that shiney:D wet look and airbrushed the lightning bolts on the body so i did it and have started to rebuild it ...what do you think about the paint.every single light except taillights/headlights will be replaced by purple l.e.d.s

[1985 kenworth]

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/2013-01-23_02-34-12_401_zpsa0a634c9.jpghere is where i am at so far..replaced the grille with the louvered grille(not to worry travis yours is being used for another build).keep in mind this picture is indoors soon i will post a pictures of it outside with the paint against the sun.still have to do more work and detail to this tractor

[buzzy16]

[buzzy16]

[Supermario]

Dwayne, the Zeus makeover has turned out fantastic! The lighting bolts are a perfect addition to this truck and really give it a wow factor.
Nice work bud! :cool:

Mario

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Very nice looking truck going great job. I like the extra detail the wind deflectors it's a very nice touch.

[1985 kenworth]

Thank you everyone. I haven't seen this truck in one piece since oct 2012 and i haven't seen what the truck will look like in the sunlight put together with the fresh polished accessories.probably on sat or sun will take it out side for a few quick snapshots...its been extremely frigid these last few days...no place for anything outside.will post a pic of that afterwards...thanks for the compliments :D

[Diesel Demond]

Great looking combo! that kw looks awesome pullin that bull rack!

[sparkycuda]

Took me a while to realize it was not 1:1. Only the red chair at back right gave it away. Nice job on the truck, the trailer, and the photo!

Ken

[dirthalr]

Nice, I really like the paint.

that looks cool dwayne! but i better not get a freight bill in the mail!

and i have to tease a bit....... but only a van guy puts a wide load sign on the side of an oversize load! :eek:

:D:D:D:D:D:D:cool:

[WhiteWolf McBride]

Goose,

Give the loadmaster a break, he probably just loaded the blasted box on sideways, and that label is supposed to face aft. Ye never know with some of these guys... they canna tell left from right, fore from aft, and all mixed together!

WhiteWolf
(* wonderful load-box though, just wonderful! *)

[1985 kenworth]

hey give me a break i ran out of hours in my log book loading this thing and all i kept thinking about was bed ...sleep...and alan just for that smart remark you will get a delivery invoice for this rather large crate:D...besides a big guy on a ladder...i am afraid of heights:p

[1985 kenworth]

thank you all for the kind comments:)

[Goose19]

LOL!

[1985 kenworth]

as some of you know i wrecked zeus in a crash yesterday:(:mad: so i will be posting pics of the rebuild here.i have already started the frame and will update as in go along.;):)

[Dairyland Trucker]

It is sad to see anyones truck have an accident, were you running a 4:1 gear reduction in your truck, with the 4:1 it should slow the truck down enough to where if this was to happen again it probably wouldn't so much damage again sorry to see such a pretty truck get damaged.

[1985 kenworth]

No DT i do not run the gear reductions in any of my trucks .this was just a stupid decision that cost me my truck at the moment.like i said in the other thread "bad crash with zeus today" there are reasons why i don't run the gear reduction.i just have to be more careful next time..first time in 4 years i have had a bad mishap with any of my trucks...thanks for the compliment.it sucks but it will be back running soon

Looking real good Dwayne..

[Kaf343]

Dwayne, this is going to be sweet. Love the paint. Can't wait for more pics.

[BRICKNICK]

Looking great Dwayne, I really like the aluminum full fenders, very nice old school custom look. Now adays everyone goes with fiberglass full fender which I'm not a big fan of.

[Lmackattack]

I like those fenders...want to make some for my globe but knowing me I would scratch them to **** running in the off road.

wow looking sharp, how long is that trailer, something in that length would fit perfect behind my grand hauler build.

[bigford]

53' scale if I remember right

[Roundabout]

53' scale if I remember right

thank you, so something like 46" front to back?
been looking foe aluminium like you used for the sides for years, but cant seem to find anything like it here in europe.

[TRUCKMAKER]

That looks really good bigford and its funny the reaction you get from people when they see them in person after seeing pictures, they don't realize how big they can get!

I can't wait to see it in person! ......34 more days ! :bounce:

[1985 kenworth]

I scratchbuilt the trailer to scale 53ft ..its 46 3/4" long ..and the stainless ribbed panels are custom made ..thanks

[1985 kenworth]

Oh yea mario you never seen it yet ...lol.. i think sue will like it better than the cattle trailer...lol

[mavrick0]

The way it's going there will be several 53's at the show Mario.

[Supermario]

Has anyone tried turning a 53 on our layout yet?

Sorry Dwayne , don't mean to high jack. Nuff said.

[flatdeck]

It will be very tight with the long stance of the 53 behind a long wheel base tractor... I think even my 48 with have a hard time making the corners......
