Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Super cool rig, it just looks so bad. Bodywork is sweet, really nailed the KW look. I am so envious of the rims, they compliment the truck well.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Just awesome Troy...Hey Nathan...Seminol is a type of paint design..Kw was the first to offer this design...This was the conventional design..:D

That Kw is looking awesome man, nice job. Hey Jon youll be gettin my cab soon LOL. Im waiting till after Indy to drop it off.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Ah ha! I understand now. Yeah, that paint scheme is making a come back. I see it on a lot of trucks, even if it originated on KWs first. That would look good.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Thanks guys,and yes Dave the fenders will be blended to the hood.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth

I am removing the lift axle because I change my mind a lot :eek:,and was going to build a lowboy in the near future for this truck.Now I decided to use
it to haul my cattle trailer.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Looking really good! The steps are very nice. Off the same kit that my new Cat engine came from? :D I like the blue. It's a good color. I remember you thought about doing a faded paint scheme. Still headed that way?

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Very nice,I like the step where did you get them?
I wonder why you took out the 3rd axle,LOL

Amanda

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

Thanks for the comments from all of you!

The paint is sonic blue pearl,and your right Nathan....the steps are from
the 1/16 monogram kit.

As of right now:confused:,I still plan on doing the worn out,faded paint,
lots of chrome... trucker on a budget look!:rolleyes:

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

I like this build a lot, keep it up. The colored frame adds to the realism of the kw, weather its that blue or the red it used to be. Nice job.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

I had a little more time,so I laid down some more paint.
Now I need to wet sand,add the gold and white and clear coat.
This is the nerve racking part:mad:.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

That truck is beautiful! I know your building a daycab, but with the cattle trailer I think a Wedico 60" sleeper would really look nice on the truck. Very sweet truck you have there.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
 

WHOA!! That is looking good there Troy!! Keep up the awesome job.

Brian

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
