just got the headache rack today...woo..hoo

[cosworth34677]

wow now thats is so cool!

[1985 kenworth]

thanks everyone for your patience with this build .i really wanted a true as can be replica of this truck which is why i got a painter friend to do this.there is no way today..tomorrow...next week...or even the next lifetime(if there is one)that could have ever pulled this off and i want to thank everyone involved at helping to bring my idea 17 months ago to a reality.this truck i was thinking to make a special carry case for optimus and zeus to transport them to and from shows ..venues...etc i was thinking wooden crate with handles for the strength and being rigid.does anyone have any suggestions on what to line it with that will not damage the paint in transit..glad everyone likes it .now to finish up the little bits left to do and the trailer ..then the lights..woo hoo.and just to mention before someone else does no this truck will not be hitting any curbs...ever!!!

here is an updated picture of my optimus so far.i have since added the peterbilt steps on optimus and the proper bumper with the 15 visored lights and the guide poles and the headache rack arrived and i just attached it with plastic ties but i am getting my local machine shop guy to make some actual scale u bolts to attach it like the real one is and i have put in the cab roof visored aluminum light housings the truck is now gone to my good friend to install all of the blue l.e.d.s.

also waiting for the storage boxes to arrive to be installed .still working on the trailer to which will be done soon

Maybe just used some closed cell foam. The sort of stuff you get in cushions or in Pelican cases.
Most foam places will be able to sell you big thick layers that you can cut to shape.
