towman1271 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Started with a mess of a Movin on Kenworth.. Although not exactly accurate it came out nice! Decals from Jerry at Modeltruckin. Torsion bars from P &P. Tractor done & now time to start on redoing the trailer in the final picture! Will post some better outside pictures if the rain here in Pa ever stops!

angelo7 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Awesome job Dave!! One of my favorite trucks. I just finished one like yours and I'm currently working the Bandit Trans Am. It's amazing to me how you guys can rework a kit that was put together years ago. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 It is hard to believe that is the same truck! You did an excellent job! Short the lever locks, it looks just like the Snowman truck to me! Very Impressive!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing to me how you guys can rework a kit that was put together years ago. Looks great. I also have the trans am finished all but the decals, which just fell apart due too age. Your kenworth looked amazing, converting the aero to look that good was unbelievable. This was my first stab at a rebuild. It wasn't really bad, just a lot of time cleaning up he mess. But thanks for your comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
