Hey guy's,I have a few progress pics!
I still have to put chrome rings on the air cleaners,add emblems,and several
other things.I hope to be done this weekend.

I goofed up big time.....I forgot about using the Kenworth door handles
I didn't realize what I did until I got out the sprue from the kit.
Oh well it's to late know.
I also changed my mind on the paint scheme,and went with the reinier not the seminole.

Trying to tape off the seminole was getting me pissed,so I took the easy way out.

I was wondering, did you make the KW grill? If so do you sell them?

Wow. You really laid a beautiful coat of paint on there! I can't wait to see all the little bits and pieces installed, and this truck completed. Very nice work Troy!

That is beautiful Troy, It's still not to late to install the KW door handles you could start again as I'm use there would be a buyer for the raw cab

Wow man you knocked it outta the park, I think the idea of using the monogram kits is a great idea if u can get em. I have two complete trucks the red kw and the yellow Pete kit, missing a few pieces that had broken off. I will be using wedico parts to replace the missing pieces.

Thanks for all of the comment's.....thats one of the things driving me to finish!
The grill is from JTS (Joe's Truck Stop).

I Still need to install lens's in the rear,make a back window,and install
the mfu.Here are a few more pics for the heck of it!










I still need to learn how to do paint and body work.
Tracy,I may build another one some day.....if so the handles will be the first thing
I do.
