  1. Finally got the colors sorted out and been playing with an app to design the decals. Coral blue will be applied to the front fenders and lower aero panels. The hood, cab, sleeper and cargo box will be white. Thinking about painting the top of the hood only in gloss or semi gloss black and the front flares will be semi gloss black. Decal will follow same color scheme.
  2. Thank you, the next build will be better, already thinking how I can improve.
  3. Outstanding work sir, now you are gonna have to add more trucks and a cool shop truck.
  4. Are you using your motor in above picture? It really looks good.
  5. While I was waiting on parts to dry, I decided to cut the fake looking grill out and I will replace with screen of some kind.
  6. Looking forward to watching this build, I have a few resin cabs and this may help with ideas.
  7. First time plumbing brakes and air lift axle. Any advise for next time is good. Now to plumb the front brakes then build an air dryer.
  8. My first attempt at air brake lines and air lines for the lift axle. Kinda represents the idea.
  9. Love the bed modifications, looks timely. Like the big front tires. With those big front tires, it’s just begging for a front drive axle and transfer case, maybe more aggressive tire tread in the rear. Maybe just a very well used, faded, light rust with a timely color. I have a left over wrecker bed and this is giving me ideas, gotta follow this.
  10. Progress report: after a lot of fabrication work, I changed the drive suspension to dual springs (more appropriate for T600A KW) retaining the drive axles adding Auslowe brakes, then modified an air lift tag axle adding a straight axle and some Auslowe brakes. Going to need front flares with the wide tires, anyone know who makes some? Or put narrow tires and wheels on the front.
