Dwayne is going to have to buy a bigger vehicle, or a bigger trailer to haul all these trucks around in soon, this one looks pretty bad *** if you ask me!!!

[dabears]

THAT IS BAD A$$!!!! Looks great!!! Good job on weathering the frame

[1985 kenworth]

it was hard to get it to fit on the frame at the front but i got it done.now to add the details to it ...will post more pics later..thanks for the comments guys,actually probuilder weathered the frame for me also to match

[404]

Oh yeah I love that truck! It's got a really mean industrial/murder look to it:D

and hey while you are doing all the movie trucks, how about the 352H from breaking away:D

Wow Dwayne, A killer job on this truck and it looks great in the pics you have of it so far. Can't wait to see all of the details and accessories added to it. Much different then the show rigs everybody is building around here these days with lots of chrome and chicken lights. I really like how this one is turning out.

I'm loving the look of this one. Duel build aside the detail and weathering will be sick. I've always liked the character a bit of rust adds to a truck. Keep the pics and updates coming.

I found this pic of one a while back and have it blown up and hanging in my shop. It's got to be one of my favorite rc builds of a movie truck

Cool Truck
That's an OLD movie -- not too many will remember

[aussietruckerguy]

That looks GREAT!!! amazing painting, did you airbrush or brush?

[Kaf343]

I dont know the movie but love the look, very nice job.

[Supermario]

Wow man!
I see you have made the next step in becoming a creator of masterpiece's :cool:
Ready for Clifford right?
Remember months ago when I said you can't bobtail , you'll need a trailer etc.... You were not kidding! Lol
Keep up the great work Dwayne. :D

Are those custom length rails? I don't see extensions. Pre drilled or DIY ?

Mario

[1985 kenworth]

the rails are from the king hauler ,they just look extended because its a day cab and i got the cab from probuilder,are you getting one done supermario

[1985 kenworth]

yea i am thinking of enclosing my utility trailer and adding an air ride system...lol that would look funny with me pulling a little 4x8 trailer behind a 250 in wheelbase kenworth .the mto would probably laugh so hard they would just say ..just go away..lol.i am working on the tanker for it right now

[JoseFL10-4]

Sharp good job, take a look a tonka super tanker

[hammer]

That is SICK totaly SICK. Awsome truck.

TONY

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Yup, mama sues truck is at Rick's. A kinghauler body made into a Pete 379 with ultra cab and sleeper with his spectacular paint job. His styrene and paint work is top notch. Can't wait to get it back:)

[1985 kenworth]

[PROBUILDER1964]

[jtroyer06]

This is the definition of TOUGH!!!!Keep up the awesome work!

[MoRockN]

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/2013-01-12_16-54-48_86_zps75b8f941.jpghere are some updates ,i dry mounted the cab so i can mount the chassis parts like the fuel tanks and the drivers side step.i weathered the mfu unit switch/step to match the rest of the truck and got a few extra parts needed from probuilder to finish the truck off .i notice in parts of the movie there was a catwalk on the truck so i got probuilder to make and paint one for me .this will also help with hiding the battery to power this truck as you can see,not much room anywhere

[1985 kenworth]

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/2013-01-12_16-55-24_1_zpsda07bde7.jpgi am going to stuff a mfu in here and add more details like the numerous rusted plates at the front and the 2 clearance and signal lights and that little convex mirror on the hood so the driver can moniter the engine by colour of the smoke out of the exhaust,plus i am started on the tanker for this truck too..thanks for looking ,will post more pics as i get more done

[1985 kenworth]

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/j436/1985kenworth/2013-05-22_07-25-08_128_zpsff423f22.jpg (http://s1085.photobucket.com/user/1985kenworth/media/2013-05-22_07-25-08_128_zpsff423f22.jpg.html)here is an update on the duel truck.redid the front bumper ,was going to use real railway track but could not find the right size.tried g scale and too big and o scale did not look right so i used evergreen I beam and trimmed the top and made it look like railway track then i weathered it with rust and oil and added the brackets in styrene and weathered them also and added the license plates .i also removed the headlights because they sat too high on the grille .i will be reinstalling them and weathering the plates also .yep still building this one also;)

[Lmackattack]

Cool rig.. I know the guy that bought the movie truck...he has since sold it but it was cool that he was able to locate it and get it back from the dead...

[1985 kenworth]

yea and as the story goes the lady that lived across the street from him was terrified of the truck so much that she sold her house and moved..:pnot sure how true but its funny:lol:

[Lmackattack]

Never heard that one but.....LOL....Dan Bruno of st Louis bought it and I think tried to drive it home but gave in and had it transported. I can't recall the details... He had it for a few years and sold it to someone in the south....he also owns the movie truck and trailer from convoy.

[Straywolf]

Just amazing, every time i see this truck it just floor's me. Great Job on Her!!!

Mike

[toniolillo]

It is one of my favorite movies, I love the set

[Straywolf]

So iwas wondering if anytime soon we may see Dennis Weaver and his car to go with the Duel Rig?

[Kaf343]

Looking better and better every time we see it.

[1985 kenworth]

you know its funny you mention that one of my friends shawn(civic83) has made that suggestion also so you never know what might show up here in this thread;)it would be a good idea to get one made and put it in the photos with this truck but in my opinion i think it would look good smashed up beside this truck ...with a say no to road rage ad...:p:D

[Diesel Demond]

oh just a slight complication. ooohhh looked like a big complication to me!!! lol truck is looking bad a$$... wondering how your gonna do the trailer to get that shape.

[1985 kenworth]
