KW Daycab "Pipe Dream"

[Bigrigger]

Got some body work done today! I put a little piece of styrene on the point of the hood to make the ridge of the hood more steep.





Made the hood a little more pointed, like the 1:1. Fighting with my filler to get a smooth finish in some areas, and thinking about next steps for mounting fenders.

I have seen the KW grilles that people put on their rigs here, but they are to deep and ridged, mine will have to be custom. If anyone has a 3D printer they would be willing to print something on for me, let me know!

Let me know what you think...

Tease it...





More pipe, less dream!

Well, no major updates so far. Just putty and sand, putty and sand. However, I did hit it with some primer, and it looks great! Need to touch up here and there, but it is coming along.

I noticed that the filler was splitting from the plastic in areas... is that my bad? I'm using US Chemical and Plastics Icing #26006. It was recommended to me, and I think it is just because I used too much hardener. I also got some air pockets or something because I always get little holes in the putty.

Anyway... pics!



Here is the hood peak:



Still a little rough:





Fenders are waiting:





I'm using 1000 grit sandpaper at the finest, and apparently it isn't enough. Looks like I need to find some 2000...

Oh, and the big pipe is to make a dump bed.

Thanks for looking!
