King Hauler Long Pete-Style
Hey all,
in this thread I want to show you my second tractor. It´s a King Hauler, built with some left over parts. First of all, I extendedthe frame by one tank-length. [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] This was just right to extend the sleeper by just cutting away the rear on one and the front on the other one! [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] After the sleeper was glued together and finished, I started to paint the whole cabin. First I liked the blue, but I´a m thinking about a different paint-scheme. I got some good Ideas here, let´s see! [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] The most important change on the boby was cutting away the original Tamiya frontlights and closing them with some plastic. I replaced them with some frontlights from the Wedico Pete 359. [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] Then I built some mirror-holders by myself. Used some thin brass.tube, fatened at the ends, so I could drill the holes for the screws. The mirrors themselves are the original Tamiya ones.

Re: King Hauler Long Pete-Style
Is it just me, or do I spy a line of TINY little LEDs along the top of the sleeper? Nice and neat.

Re: King Hauler Long Pete-Style
I think the paint looks good. I was going ask about the LEDs on the sleeper too. There are quite a few of them! The mirror mounts look good too. I've got to try something like for my own trucks. It makes a huge difference!

Re: King Hauler Long Pete-Style
Scott, you're really doing a fantastic job. I love the mirror brackets, what size of tubing did you use? This is going to be a beauty.
