Steve, now you're on the right track.:p But I wouldn't even know where to begin on something like that.:confused: but yes, I am going to cut styrene for the kiss logo, ans install led's.;)

Thanx buddy, Big John

I just ran the light wires strait to the speakers and when the bass thumped you got a flash.

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Well here's what I did tonight. I cut the letters for the kiss logo, and i'm gonna put led's in them. I will build a box that will mount to a piece of styrene, and put the logo on the front. The box will hide all of the wires. This will be in the trailer on a side wall. Please let me know what you think.;)

The lettering looks really great John, sounds like you have a clear plan there.

I found some really cheap flashing LED kits. Maybe one will work for you. Many options on led color and flash or strobe patterns and speeds.

Now some more body work, and a little finessing around the doors, and I should be getting closer for the psycidallic paint job...Believe me when I say, I want to see paint on this as much as you all do.:D

Thanx for looking, Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Bodys looking good buddy!! Like the bigger sleeper doors

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thankyou buddy, like I said, a guy my size needs larger doors, lol.:D
Thankyou Tamiya Cowboy, and I thought the "K" was going to the most difficult because on the curves, but the "S" took longer to measure out.:p Goes to show, you never know what will happen.;):eek::rolleyes:

Big John

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Great progress as always Big John. I, like you and everyone else, am really looking forward to seeing this crazy paint scheme, specially on such a large and unique cab. It's gonna be really off the wall! Every square inch of it will have a different pattern. Mental!!

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Thanx buddy, yeah this will be an attention getter:p I just hope when it comes time to do this, everything cooperates...we will see.:eek::D:p:rolleyes:;)

Careful Gene might want royalties from you for using his logo. LOL

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

:D:D Thankyou Mike, and yeah, Gene might be lurking around:rolleyes::rolleyes: I was thinking the other day, it would be cool to have the band members sign the roof of the trailer.:eek::D;):p

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

I'm with Dreamweaver, Vinney Paul from Pantera was on That Metal Show last week talking about Simmons and his greed for royalties on anything KISS, I guess he's over the top about it. Its to bad, if I were him I'd want to own it when you were done! .

Re: "KISS" theme truck
 

Gene Simmons did do 1 nice thing this week, He hired a military veteran, as a roadie for the upcoming tour. http://www.friendsoftheuschamber.com/blog/post/183 See the video in the link.
Cheer's, Neil.
