Great job on your KW conversion! The lift axle and suspension is adding a lot to the build. Think you've got enough cab clearance lights?

I AM a fan! The frame ramp taper looks nice too.

Wow that is very close to what I am going to build next spring when I got the monies. Only thing different is that I am going to heavy haul it! Very nice colors are great! For your first truck its better than what I am going to be able to build

Sweet looking KW

love the color choice. I guess work truck means no extra lights?

Mario

i havnt got to use mine much, only did the rails before the reno started! i have lights to go under the cab and in the holes in the bunk, going to try painting with chrome paint around it, see how it does.

mine started as a heavy haul, will get a lift axle once i get a better one figured out. i have an idea that uses brake line and steer axle spindles, but i want to get the rest finished up first. thx!

Tamiya Cowboy · #11 10-16-2012, 08:03 PM

Yep that is how I pictured it in my head that color combo looks great!!

dabears · #12 10-18-2012, 02:15 PM

That's a lot of lights! I like lights. As for chrome vs paint depends in what else will be chrome. I like chrome but not overkill chrome.. Hard to say

Supermario · #13 10-21-2012, 03:29 PM

My first instinct would be to say paint it. When I look at it I think of Younggunz black Pete or John's roll off Pete. Both nice examples of painted visors and with the lights I think would look wicked

Mario

Diesel Demond · #14 10-21-2012, 06:54 PM

Im liking the painted visors right now. That side shot of the hood looks bad!!!

Nice looking rig, Goose! I'm building a KH just like this one. How did you make the styrene boxes to house the headlights, and the buckets themselves? Thanks.

they are cut out of the stock chrome KH rear bumper, you will only have to make the clear lenses to cover the front.

small update being PAINT!

finally! its about as fresh as it gets, 1/2 hour old, just pulled the masking tape off. still needs clearcoat but im really stoked about seeing it in color

for those who may remember, a year ago i began this build......and its taken that long to get about 2/3 done. lots of stuff in the works though.

thanks for looking
