Looks great Mike, just add some Large Car accessories like John's pipes, fenders, Russ's long tanks etc and She will look really nice.

what sucks now is that with the aluminum front wheels, front bumper, the chromed plastic tamiya stuff looks like CRAP! I asked Joe about his aluminum front kenworth grills but he cant get them made anymore! So that out but it looks like ill be buying everything in aluminum now, the money never stops a flowing does it!

Truck looks pretty awesome with the trailer tagging along behind. Can't wait to see it all finished up. Liking what you did with the shocks, the pink gets old fast.

The little dovetail on the back comes off most of the Euro trucks, the Aeromax and the Knight Hauler

Hi i think that you have done a great job on your rig . I like the color but i think that you should laquer the bodyshell so that you get a good shine
I think that the lenth of your rig looks spot on + i love those rims

here is a link to the paint i used, its a one coat primer, top coat and laquer all in one. i did prime it first because i had a light coat of red on the truck so i had to sand it and prime over that. in person the paint is flawless actually, no runs, or dirt spects in it, and its actually quit shiny i think.

im not picky with Pete or Kenworth, plus im too scared to cut my cab all up. And i have no idea how to do it plus my styrene skill is no where near some of the guys on here so im sticking with the stock cab. plus i like Kenworth's so thats the route im going with. If i cant weld it or bend it in my shop it will stay stock!

The way you have your rims, kinda look's old school. I like it.
And one more thing, the trailer look's good hooked up to 'er.
Can't wait to see more

just left my local hobby shop, he just charged me two bucks for a chunk of aluminum and HE let me use his lath and milling machine to make the center support bracket for my driveshaft! If anyone is ever in New Jersey look up "Chick's Hobby Center" he is the absolute best period. Heres a few pics i have to go home now and drill and tap the block so i can mount the driveshafts up tonight.

im using a F350 highlift steering block for the center support with sealed ball bearings. i cut a old Jugg2 driveshaft for the through shaft, i just have to drill it for traxxis pins. And im using driveshaft from http://www.rctruckandconstruction.co...ght=driveshaft Tamiya Cowboy except my LHS didnt have aluminum 1/2" in stock so i used brass but its the same as his. And the block keeps bouncing back my camera flash ill try later after i tap it for a better one
