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:

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

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

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!

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!

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

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.;):)

Re: All redone kw kinghauler
 
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 05-13-2013 08:53 AM

Re: All redone kw kinghauler
 
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

http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5a6e0ae3.jpghere is zeus's frame almost completed.added pmd aluminum tanks and painted the ends to match the frame.i also added pmd aluminum full fenders, russisloud rear center plate with the lights drilled out

Re: All redone kw kinghauler
 
http://i1085.photobucket.com/albums/...ps07d6896a.jpgits early morning and the sun is not overhead which makes the frame look darker

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

Re: All redone kw kinghauler
 
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 05-27-2013 12:42 PM

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