Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
Thanks for the comments Nathan!
I thought of all the problems and mods that I would have to do to get it in this truck.I will probably add a mfu,and that wont happen if I put in the cat. The fenders are easy to do......just make multiple cuts around the edge,and cut it away from the hood starting at the back all the way up to the light bucket.Then heat the fenders to shape! I will sell you the cat and radiator if you want it!

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
Ouch! Chip that filler off and it would be ok. But it would probably take as much time as it would take to work the fenders on your other shell that already has the perfectly formed top to the hood. Not a criticism in any way of your brother's efforts - my build has had filler like that applied and removed several times over! Learning as I build. Means it takes twice as long!!
p.s. I spy a unibilt pete taking shape in the background, nice! Your workbench is a regular assembly line!!

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
small update!
I got it primed,installed headache rack,and added Brian's pre-cut deck plate!   I'm not so sure on the rack mount  ....does it look ok,or do I needto come up with something else?

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
Was the original mount too high? Maybe just add some diagonal bars like the original setup, maybe that's what's missing from the current mounts. Looks good anyway, deck plate is cool.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
Thanks guys!
The more I look at it the more I hate the mount......it's gotta go. The stock mount is to high,but I may try something else.

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
I am finally getting around to a small update!
I decided to drop the lift axle and shorten the frame,and have been working on my headlamps.I have not had much time lately to work on my trucks,but sometime is better than no time! I have a lot of filling and sanding to do,but thought I would throw some pics in. The car in the background is a hint at what my next project will be  .

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
Looking really good, Troy. I was happy to see an update to this build. Hoping to see even more, soon! I have no clue what 'seminol' is, but are you building a drag car hauler or something?

Re: Starting my daycab Kenworth
That looks great! Love the way you re-worked the headlight surrounds like the real thing.
