Super cool rig, it just looks so bad. Bodywork is sweet, really nailed the KW look. I am so envious of the rims, they compliment the truck well.

Just awesome Troy...Hey Nathan...Seminol is a type of paint design..Kw was the first to offer this design...This was the conventional design..

this was the seminol in cabover design..

BRICKNICK · #**103** 08-09-2011, 08:46 PM

That Kw is looking awesome man, nice job. Hey Jon youll be gettin my cab soon LOL. Im waiting till after Indy to drop it off.

Espeefan · #**104** 08-09-2011, 08:50 PM

Ah ha! I understand now. Yeah, that paint scheme is making a come back. I see it on a lot of trucks, even if it originated on KWs first. That would look good.

Hey Amanda,welcome to the forum!

I am removing the lift axle because I change my mind a lot

,and was going to build a lowboy in the near future for this truck.Now I decided to use
it to haul my cattle trailer.

Here are a few more pics of were I'm at now.

This is the paint scheme I am going for

Espeefan · #**112** 08-16-2011, 03:10 AM

Looking really good! The steps are very nice. Off the same kit that my new Cat engine came from?

I like the blue. It's a good color. I remember you thought about doing a faded paint scheme. Still headed that way?

mustanggal2005 · #**113** 08-16-2011, 06:45 AM

Very nice,I like the step where did you get them?
I wonder why you took out the 3rd axle,LOL

Thanks for the comments from all of you!

The paint is sonic blue pearl,and your right Nathan....the steps are from
the 1/16 monogram kit.

As of right now

,I still plan on doing the worn out,faded paint,
lots of chrome... trucker on a budget look!

BRICKNICK · #**115** 08-16-2011, 11:07 AM

I like this build a lot, keep it up. The colored frame adds to the realism of the kw, weather its that blue or the red it used to be. Nice job.

sneaky-pete · #**116** 08-23-2011, 10:17 PM

I had a little more time,so I laid down some more paint.
Now I need to wet sand,add the gold and white and clear coat.
This is the nerve racking part

Claus · #**117** 08-23-2011, 11:00 PM

That truck is beautiful! I know your building a daycab, but with the cattle trailer I think a Wedico 60" sleeper would really look nice on the truck. Very sweet truck you have there.

Brian in PA · #**118** 08-23-2011, 11:26 PM

WHOA!! That is looking good there Troy!! Keep up the awesome job.

Brian

BRICKNICK · #**119** 08-24-2011, 12:05 AM

this thing is looking sweet man, I'm loving this build

nenard · #**120** 08-24-2011, 12:27 AM
