I think I finally found the rig I wanna build.

I would start with a King Hauler cab and go from there. With a goal in mind, you could buy one or two items a month an slowly acquire the necessary parts for your build.

That would be a very cool build! Welcome to the Hobby. I am sorry for your loss as well. I think building a 1/14 scale cab that looks as close to the kenworth as you can get and then build the rest of the parts with styrene (cheap ). Eventully get a king hauler kit and some long blank frame rails and go to town with it! We are on this forum to help!
