Bullnose Kenworth Race Hauler

[DRIPTROIT 71]

This began with the latest version of the Hideout truck, which was a warped up mess by the way. Bullnose cab is from AITM. I got the bed straightened out and modified.

Here is how bad the frame rails were out of the box.

 

Here is a mock up.

Ouch those rails skipped final QC  

Great looking build so far ?

Liking the idea, fun build to watch.

Everything was warped, including the engine block halves, rails, differentials, the stacks, the interior bucket, the bed, etc. I think that the cab was okay though.?

Moving along. Still dealing with almost everything in this kit being warped.

I like it! Great idea for a vintage hauler, I'm sure you can make it work, even with the defects.

Thanks! A little more progress.

Getting close to the finish line.

I like how everything turned out, but I really enjoyed the from bumper paint scheme. 

I would like to try this sometime, it makes a strong statement to the vehicle!

And I love your collections in the background (including your trucks), very interesting to see what you have there.
