Re: Knight Hauler Longline
That's crazy. The is definitely one of the sweetest trucks out there. I love the detail under the hood, as well as the tilting hood. And did you make that front bumper?

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
WOW!!!
That's a really cool longliner, fantastic... Really great job. How long is your truck? Do you have a link to a construction Thread to read how you've built him?

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
Thats impressive,, didn't think a truck could be that long and still legally pull anything,, I know it wouldn't be able to in NY at least

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
Hi...
today I started to spray a thin coat of base coat. It helps to find areas that need another bit of attention. But we have over 30 degrees and it seems it is too warm for painting. The base coat was dry within a minute. So I have to wait with further paintings until it is a bit colder. Here are some pictures of the first base coat layer. Tomorrow I'll sand it and repair the not yet finishd areas.

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
I love this build!!! Excellent idea and execution.
Have you thought about making the side sleeper window longer? Would look way loooooooooongggg if that window ran almost the length of the sleeper

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
Hi,
No, I never thought about that. But now it's too late. The Cab is nearly finished. In addition I think it would destabelize the cabine roof. Major changes can't be done anymore. My son is waiting and asking each day when the painting will start. If I would tell him that I start to redesign the sides, he would kill me...

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
Moin, moin...
37° in the shadow, I'm sitting perspiring on the sofa. So if I'm perspiring while I'm sitting, i can do it also while I'm building side pipes... I got a copper pipe from the hardware store and started my work. First I needed a bit of sand and my knee. I filled the pipe with sand and taped it on both side. After that I started to bend the pipe over my knee until it had the right angle. To get the same angle for the second pipe, I taped to wooden blocks on the table together with a paper showing the form of the first bow. Now I started to bend the second part on the same pipe, controlling the angle by holding it to the wooden blocks. After 2 or 3 corrections it was OK. Now I cutted out the parts that I needed from the pipe The top areas were cut off with the buzz saw. The top areas were sanded and the longer pipe was cutted on the correct length Testing together with the cabine They will get 90° elbow fittings That's it... Back to the sofa to fill up my water reservoir.

Re: Knight Hauler Longline
Hi...
We were shopping and my son selected a color. I was a bit unsecure if it was a good selection, but children sometimes make funny decissions. He selected TS-36 (Fluorescent red) But after spaying the first layer, I'm really astonished about the effect. If the sun is shining on it, it's marvelous. Having this color the truck will never get lost on a parcour. Here are some pictures
