  7. thanks for the reply's guys ! thanks sean for the chicken light tip I will definitely use it. while checking out w9 pics on the web to study battery box/fuel tank configurations I came across some of the custom trucks seen nowadays. the inspiration hit and I decided to try one. (so much for a relax build ). I cut the headlight pieces from the fenders, filled in the holes, and installed snap pete headlight brackets , and 32 ford lights from the American graffiti kit. the whole time I was sawing away at the hood, I had the song stuck in my head : "she's real fine my 409", but changed the words to "she's real fine my w9" !. I must be inhaling too many glue fumes ! as stated above, the possibility's are endless with these kits. here is what came out. [
  8. my pete coe project is on hold due to the fact I ran out of primer. I need to stock up on supply's. this is a snap kit I 've had in the stash for a long time. it is nearly complete except for the front steer axle which I used on another build. I had cut off the aerodyne bunk to make the big bunk for my k/w coe build (posted earlier) , and had originally planned to do a flat top double bunk but never got around to doing it. looking at the kit I thought I would do a relax build of a work truck day cab, spoke wheels, short wheelbase, etc. I used a piece of sheet styrene heated up with a hair dryer, bent over a screwdriver handle to make the missing rear roof section. the rear cab wall is from the back of the original sleeper wall. I flipped it and used the slot that was at the bottom to cut out the rear window. for the rear of the interior tub I cut out a section from the sleeper interior and fitted it to the rear of the tub.
