freightshaker Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 So it's been awhile since I've posted anything... Here's a kenworth snapper I've been working on.. Cut the aerodyne off and put a 36" sleeper on it. Also building a custom spreadaxle fruehauf to pull behind it. The trailer has working vent doors on front and rear. Just like all the spud trailers do. It also has a custom drop ICC bumper on it. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Real nice project...I've got a cab and sleeper setup the same as yours for a future build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Where did the stacks come from? I love the way they look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 You're off to a good start. I like the W900 AeroDyne in the background, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinx Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Very nice, looking forward to seeing your progress. I'm presently doing the same idea as yours, the snap KW with the Pete sleeper (going for a Snowman/SatB). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freightshaker Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 I actually made the stacks from evergreen tubing. I just mitre cut and the put the angles together to make the bull haulers. Then sanded and smoothed out all sharp corners to round and soften them. Cutting the aerodyne off of the kw was almost as much of a challenge as smoothing out the whole left on the cab. I was trying to save as much of the bunk as I could for any future project I might need it. Also if your careful and patient with it you can make smoothing that cab out a lot easier. Thanks for the comments. I will post more progress as I make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris guthro Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 What did you use to paint them stacks? Or are they metal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freightshaker Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 The stacks on the blue aerodyne are covered in chrome vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freightshaker Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Update, got paint shot on the kenworth today. Clear coated as well. It's a mint green metallic. Just a pic of the mock up. Close up of the paint. Trailer painted. Working on lights and details. Rear doors. Thanks for looking! More to come.

Mackvision Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 What did you use for the fender guides on the ends of the bumper? they look sharp!...................................Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freightshaker Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks, the paint is by far the best I've done till now. As for the bumper guides they're just simple small diameter styrene tubing bent to make a guide and small amber lenses put on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
