Re: Grand Hauler
After looking at the shiny bits in the rear suspension, I couldn't help but notice the tops of the airbags should be polished as well.... Here's the process of stripping the anodize off sanding it down with scotchbright and then finally polishing.

Re: Grand Hauler
The shredder grill comes with the upper kenworth emblem machined into it minus the KW. I bought a Kenworth emblem from garden trucking, then had a machinist machine the ribs out of the emblem of the grill. That way when I put the badge on the grill it sits flush with the grill.

Re: Grand Hauler
I finally got the roof lights in the mail, but they didnt come with lenses. So before I install them, I'll have to talk with true scale about getting some lenses cut. Sorry about the sizing of the pictures somehow Photobucket didn't get it right
This rig gets a little bit closer to completion every week here's some more pictures of how she shows so far. Thanks again you'all for the compliments. With me being a newbie I'm always open to criticism or advise. Thanks again!!! {IMG}http://[URL=http://s516.photobucket.com/user/downtown480/media/rc%20semi%20collection/IMG_6217.jpg.html][/URL][/IMG] {IMG}http://[URL=http://s516.photobucket.com/user/downtown480/media/rc%20semi%20collection/IMG_6219.jpg.html][/URL][/IMG] {IMG}http://[URL=http://s516.photobucket.com/user/downtown480/media/rc%20semi%20collection/IMG_6220.jpg.html][/URL][/IMG] |

Re: Grand Hauler
Did some work modifying The front bumper mount to move the bumper back and cut down the front bumper to give it a little bit more ground clearance.

Re: Grand Hauler
So I decided, since I have the materials laying around to update my rear bag set up. Here's the before middle and end result. I had to cut all of the bars to fit it as best as I could but I ended up scratching some of the anodize in the process.

Re: Grand Hauler
Thanks Snowman!! I only have a few more things to do and hopefully it'll be done for a bit. My custom build is currently on hold while, Russ and I come up with a functioning airbag. To lift the truck off the ground.😎 After we figure that out this truck will fully lay out as well.
