Default My Psycho-Billy Cadillac

Actually it's just another King Hauler but I do feel a little bit like Johnny Cash in the fact I'm getting this one "One Piece at a Time". Last year I bought a King Hauler kit, added some PMD stuff to and painted it black, I wasn't happy with it and changed my mind many many times on what I wanted. Now I'm starting over again. I tried removing the paint off of my original parts with the oven cleaner and was not happy with the results so I have been ordering parts off of ebay and some of the guys here. Still have some more coming and some more to order.

Not planing on this one really looking Peterbilt or Kenworth just a King Hauler with some changes. I do plan on using a Wedico sleeper, I just don't like the Tamiya one.


I need some of Freddy's rails so I can get going. Here is the pile as of now.

Cool, so did you bring most of the parts home in your lunchbox, with the bigger parts obviously in your buddy's mobile home? Lol I love that song...

Got a few new parts today, love my new rails from Freddy. Also really liking the after market aluminum stuff, I know some of these parts don't look real when they are raw aluminum color but they sure do look cool!

Sorry for the crappy photos.

Good to see things are finally coming together for you, Craig. I know things didn't exactly go smooth at first. Hopefully it gets easier now.

Craig, Another option is to whack that cheesy looking bracket off, and go direct to the frame like I have done.
Whatever you choose to do will surely look better than how they come in the package.
Stick with it. I like where this truck is going.

Ain't nothing wrong with Redneck engineering !! Rule #1 when building is .... There are NO rules,
I like how you laid everything down flush on the table to keep things on the same plane.
