kilrathy10 Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 JT -- do you do your spray painting outside ?Yes, Sir....I do....At this time of year, we get some days with "low" humidity.....That's about 70% down, here, but it's enough to get a pretty good shine.....Thought about building a paint booth, but don't have the room to build one big enough to do trailers and such....So outside will have to do.....And thanks a bunch, Guys.....I really hope to be able to get back to this one in earnest.....Contest is just around the corner....

kilrathy10 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Truck is about as done as it can be....I think I got it pretty close to the real one....Not going to replicate the livery, because this one is mine.....Going to build a race trailer for this one.....And that's up, next....

Jim B Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Great job on the Volvo. I have this kit waiting in the wings. Question for you: how difficult would it be to convert it to a singe stack exhaust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 Great job on the Volvo. I have this kit waiting in the wings. Question for you: how difficult would it be to convert it to a singe stack exhaust?I don't think it would be at all....I just didn't want that on this truck.....And, if you can get a hold of an Italeri VN 670 kit, it's set up with single exhaust, already....Should be an easy transplant, that way....

kilrathy10 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) And so the cutting begins..... I'm going for a 53' triple axle with singles, this time.....Actually going to do an interior for it, as well.....The general shape and layout has been determined....
