Great idea! Thanks for sharing that. I thought the lenses looked a heck of a lot clearer than anything else available out there right now. It never dawned on me to try those crazy eyes.

making it a spread axle .and installed the rearmost axle and the forward axle is just resting on it until i decide how much of a spread i want.sprayed the white colour and let it dry for a few days ,masked it off and sprayed the italian red colour ,unmasked and touched up the white in spots and installed the black pinstripe on one side of the trailer.once the clear is dry i will do the other side and hopefully get it assembled tonight

That looks awesome. The Kenworth is very sharp. The Peterbilt must have been in for service - needed the fuel turned up so it could chase down a Valiant? Quite a contrast between trucks. One is all shiny and the other came out of a junk yard.

[Berman]

Amazing! You've done a fantastic job on that KW, the Pete is awesome as well!

I've been eyeing up one of those rc4wd trailers too, you happy with it?

[1985 kenworth]

here it is finally done!!! i put just a slight spread on it ,chromed the front headboard with the old school style reefer unit.i used red anodized wheel nuts for the trailer .i custom did the rear doors to look like the new style reefer doors with the mirror polished look.i also made my own mudflaps with the thin sheet rubber and sheet aluminum ,sanded and polished them for that mirror polished look on the mudflaps hope you like it ..wait until you see whats next?

yes i am i just have to add the rear bumper and lights to it but its a solid trailer thanks for the kind words

[Espeefan]

The rear doors on the reefer look great. Maybe what you need now is a couple red bunk lights to shine and reflect off that polished headboard on the trailer!

BAD *** beautiful truck.... I have one question though. I noticed everyone building these B.J. and Bear trucks keep forgetting to add the gold pin stripe that goes around the black stripe around cab.I am not sure if anyone noticed that or if it would be to hard to try and replicate being that is a thin line. I am not trying to take anything away from this build or any of the others just mentioning it...Great work.
