  8. Here is my Western Star Re-builder that has been a pain for sometimes.. ..this is the 5th time i painted this truck as it was built in 1986 ..its old , still has brass photo etch heat shields on it, back in the day they were no stainless photo etch.. first it was gray then yellow then black and orange then seaside blue and now it some color Honda green i got from my friend David Mars while i was up in Dallas..thanks David .., and let me say plastic gets brittle over time and all the soaking to remove the paint..lol..i re-built the log trailer (scratched built) as i never was happy with the first one..the truck was all ready plumbed (back then i could see lol) ..trailer is also plumbed (took a while lol) ..i also added Louisiana Commercial License plates to truck and trailer and topped that off with a DOT Inspection sticker ..Tim Bogema supplied the western stay decals..(thanks Tim) All in All its finished..i could have did more but its a shelf model.. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y522/yh70/Western%20Star%20Logger/DSC02869.jpg] http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y522/yh70/Western%20Star%20Logger/DSC02874.jpg]

  13. Ryan also did these pipes and breather tubes for me..u can't go wrong with a set on your truck.
  14. no sir..you can get them from here at ether location..you want find none any better..he sell other truck parts also.. http://www.ebay.com/sch/rhino9905/m.html?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEFSXS%3AMESOI&_trksid=p2053788.m1543.l2654 https://www.facebook.com/groups/670878102956067/?ref=bookmarks
  15. This started with a paystar 5000 cab and a aftermarket hood..i wanted external breathers so i had to extend the cab by means of cutting off 2 other front parts of other cabs i had in the grave yard (about 15 scale inches were added)..a lot of filling and sanding here..lol..i dropped a Cat 3406 under the hood while i was at it..plumbing the breathers and exhaust is always a challenge when u do this , but thats the way i like it..lol..still got a way to go on the bed ,but its coming along slowly but surly..
  16. if you are trying to cut open a door get you some photo etched saw blades.. they work great.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=9&ved=0ahUKEwi-nZvDoo_PAhVIiCwKHQjuAJkQFgg_MAg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.modelcargarage.com%2Fstore%2Fpc%2FviewPrd.asp%3Fidproduct%3D356&usg=AFQjCNEZJ5cftQCQW5RlhiYOP8DpK0Y9Tw&sig2=9BqtspxX3uWlEo8s_0_DTw
