My Kenworth T800

[Claus]

I really like your pipes, are those 3/8" or 1/2"? How tall are they?

Very slick look achieved with all of the chrome trim pieces Travis!

You'll never fit under a low bridge with those stacks. Lol

Thanks for the compliments but here is a pic of the truck I am copying and all of the T800 we run at work only have 3 verticals in the grill maybe there are some out there that have more but ours don’t. Not sure what you mean by “comfortable with a lot of modding and shaping” the whole truck is custom along with the head lights.

Claus they are 1/2" polished stainles you can get it from tower hobbies but you have to polish it and make some elbows. From the ground to the top they are 12 1/2" from the bottom of the elbow to the top is 9 1/2"

But it would be easier to get a set of stylins pipes

In 1:1 they are only 14' 7" That is better than this!

OK I need some ideas for mirror brackets the brackets on my T800 on a T800 they attach to the cab not the door as they do on the king hauler kit. Here is a pic of the 1:1 and my truck.







Thanks

Take some grab bars and bend up some - or use some brass if they're the smaller triangle style.

Great job! I´m always amazed what great looking models you guys make out of a "simple" king hauler or other kits...
