Rckcrwlr's KingWorth
Always wanting one and watching Joe (xj man) building his, I had to do it.
I had a set RC4WD Wheels and just ordered there new grill. Can't wait to get this thing rolling...

Re: Rckcrwlr's KingWorth
I decided that this is going to be a Day Cab Kenworth...
So first thing I needed to do is "cut" the sleeper cab off...  I wanted the older style look like this one  So I needed to get rid of the molded in headlights.    Next will be patching and sanding the fenders down...

Re: Rckcrwlr's KingWorth
Gathered up all the stuff I needed...
Plastic Weld Lexan Scissors Xacto Knife Body Filler   Now it was time time fix these fenders.  First thing I did was get some thin, flexible styrene sheet to attach to the back to keep the contour of the fender and to close in the hood   I then cut two pieces to fill in the top part and used the PlasticWeld to adhere it.  Time to dry.

Re: Rckcrwlr's KingWorth
I then started on the back where the sleeper cab was attached.
First thing I needed to do was clean up the edges and cut a piece to fit it there as good as possible. Using tabs to hold the panel, I glued it in place... Then needed to add the rear window.  The King Hauler has a Panel on the roof that I do not like. Looks like a sun roof that never was. So I glued it in place and covered all the mounting holes so I don't fill them with putty.

Re: Rckcrwlr's KingWorth
It was now time for filling in the gaps and lines.
For the fenders, I needed to make sure that I added a little more than needed so I can sand the curve of the fender.  Next was the roof. You can see why I used tape to cover the accessory mounting holes...I would have had to clean everyone out.  The back is going to be the hardest. I am thinking I will be doing two coats on it.  It is now in the paint booth drying...this putty stinks... :confused0068:

Re: Rckcrwlr's KingWorth
Shot the body with some primer to I can see the parts that need another coat...
 Here's the roof after a sanding   Fenders are not bad...well the right wasn't...left needs some help   Put a thin skim on and should be all I will need...I hope
