JerseeJerry55 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Good evening all hope everyone’s well. A project that’s been about a year and a half in duration. She’s been painted in a couple of shades of Green, and Royal Blue at one time. My mid 1970’s White Western Star. Stretched the frame and I am using the sleeper from the AMT IH 4300. Paint is Krylon Ivory with Rustoleum Colonial Red. Will post more as I go along. Always had a soft spot for White Motors trucks since I was a teen back on Long Island in the mid 1970’s. They were literally everywhere a semi would go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Nice work! The paint job, longer frame and the full Alcoa treatment really set the tone for a super nice custom highway hauler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
