Kenworth 850 Off Highway

[DADSGARAGE]

"starting"??...oops I meant to say started...LOL....So what are you working on now...big or small??

[Trucker_Jo]

I agree with your decision and the older style lights on the 850. More yellowish headlights and then your set Are you leaning towards more logging equipment or are you going to look for a pal for the euclid.

That is a great set of lights on your truck Reg..

Is your new Bride use to waking up in the morning and turning on the light switch and seeing the Kenworth light up and the motor start to puurrrr ! hahhahah

Merry Christmas Reg

Haha. I had a comment about headlights and purring but I should keep that to myself... She did say that I could keep the KW in the house but I think she would find it weird if it was in the bedroom...\it does light things up pretty good though!lol


Merry Christmas to you and your family as well Greg! I hope to see you in a month or so.

Use it to deliver a fresh thermos of coffee!

Those lights look awesome man!!!

I have a question....how did you attach the "glass" in the truck and your excavator ??? ( I have a "cab" and don't have a clue how to put the windows in it... )

[RCP57]

Thanks KP. I'm ready for next years Xmas parade now! I guess I should take the time to light up the pee-wee truck too...

The windows are just cut oversize and glued in place with the exception of the windshields on the Euc and KW. They actually use the rubber to hold them in with a little glue for added security. Pain in the @++ to put in though....

[DADSGARAGE]

Alrighty then....so it's a "good time" putting windows in (thought so)...that's a drag...LOL...did you use CA ??
( I knew I shouldn't have put window cut outs in the cab....LOL )
I really was hoping to avoid glue....but I also didn't want to see any fasteners either....what to do, what to do....not like you can see any fasteners on my stuff already...heehee...

[RCP57]

CA? cat's @$$? sorry, I'm either tired or stupid...Both?

[doodlebug]

Hey Reg, it's super glue. (ca)
Cheers, Neil.

Oh OK...so that answers two questions...what CA means and...stupid..lol

Yes, some sort of super something...Zap it??? I forget... Just some glue I buy at the local hobby shop. It seems to be really strong as long as there is no flex or impacts.

Looking good Reg. I'm going up tomorrow to set up the tables so we'll make sure that we have an 8 footer set aside for you and we can double plank it if you like. Are you here for both days or just one?

Sounds good Rob. The truck, trailer and excavator are around 100lbs so I'm sure the table will be strong enough. The tricky part will be trying to fit it in our car...
I will only be there for Saturday. I had planned to stay for both days but I keep falling behind in the shop so I best get some work done on Sunday!

Joe, I have never attended this show before but I don't think anyone was thinking the weather would be this nice in January.

[Lil Giants]

With weather like that, why would you be inside on a table?

Reg. Here in Toronto this morning -30c wind chill... I should be there for coffee in a couple of hrs..

Truck looks great would love to see it in person..

Haha, sounds good Wayne! You coming for a visit that is.... You best bring your shorts because it will feel like summer here compared to there! It has been quite dry here(roughly 40% less rain since October). They are already talking about water restrictions on the news. Very little rain and no snow is going to make for a very dry summer if things don't change. I'm not saying that I want to experience -30c though either!

[RCP57]

The weather was gorgeous here today so after spending a few hours working I had to take a bit of time for myself. Nothing too exciting but some playtime never the less...

Great pictures Reg! Very realistic looking. It looks like you had some great weather to enjoy. I don't even see any snow. How is that possible, with you being in Canada?
