Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
This stuff is cheap @ $10 for a sheet and it has been on sale for $7. Typical of any surplus joint though, they may never have it again...I better hoard it all

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
The updated photos look great, Reg! You are a true craftsman. This has been a fun build to watch, and I think that the Kenworth is probably your best work yet, though that is really hard to say for sure. Everything you've built is as impressive, but maybe it's the details that put this one at the top for me.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
I believe this is my best too... I think it's the one that means the most to me and that's why it turned out better. It didn't really start out that way but as I've worked on it and met some people that were around the real truck I've become sentimental about it. I'm proud of all my stuff but this one makes me smile...

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
I've been following this thread quite religiously, I've been trying to find words to appropriately describe how impressed I am with this truck and you building skills. I have a soft spot for log trucks, which is funny because I drive Fire Trucks for a living! Anyway back on point, All I can think of is purely impressive, amazed, astounded by the shear level of quality and detail!! And to think you MADE all the parts!!!! Sir my hat comes off to you!!

I had some visitors come to my shop today. Some retired loggers that either drove and or owned the original KW850 that my truck is modeled after. It was very nice for me to show off the truck to them and get their approval. Hopefully the decals will be done for all of my equipment this week so I can post up some pics. Reg |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Almost finished. I had a local sign shop do up the decals for me. I wasn't able to provide them with very good images of the door decal but the girl spent all day yesterday getting it done but it turned out excellent!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ca9-QhF1yuA Thanks for looking! Ready for the show in two weeks! |

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Reg, you've outdone yourself. The truck is truly a work of art. I guess now if I want to see it I'll have to be at the Duncan show. You'll be like a proud papa showing off the new baby. The pictures are great, but they probably don't do it justice like seeing the real model. Looking forward to it, Reg.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Thanks Lou, I noticed that too but no I won't be adding them on this. The original 115 didn't have them but did have red lights on the rad guard for whatever reason. I had the red lights but didn't use them because I didn't want the wires exposed.

Re: Kenworth 850 Off Highway
Wow. It's perfect Reg. The logos look awesome, and I'm almost sad to see this incredible build finished, but it's been really great watching it progress every step of the way. I'll be looking forward to your next big project!
