I vote for that! Painted Cummins Red with some chrome do-dads sprinkled about !

.................back in the day I had one of the old all cast aluminum Anchorlock 30/30's darn near took my arm off when I was changing it,,, let go corroded away from the salt

Yeah I'm shaving them off flat

I got a few sets of these coming from Paul at ST ,,, so I'll do as much as I can on the frame and wait till I get those,plenty of work to do in the mean time ,probably massage the cab and get it painted. The Moebius trailer kit I did had some nice brake parts and air bags.

............well on top of the hollow air bags(putty took care of those) we have 4 hollow rear 30/30 chambers, I found 4 in my parts bin ,,,have to come up with slacks,,had 2 slacks for the front,,,I think they were from CTM ,,have to round up some more. Assembled some more parts on the rears and added some nut and bolt detail ,,fabbed an intermediate shaft out of aluminum tube .Got some roll around parts bins for Christmas,,they fit under my benches so that will work out great and free up room on the top,,,,sorting out my boxes of parts little by little

Big Cam 350/400 or an N14 and the L10 ,,I think ST Supply / Jamie or Sourkraut has an N14 ..not sure if anyone does an L10 ,I think the only inline Cat available in around 1992 was a 3406 .I think you could still get the 3208 V8 . I think the series 60 Detroit was available too. If I recall the bigger Cummins and Cat engines were installed tilted to the pass side for cab clearance

That thing is looking great Gary!

A Cummins would be good with that hood Jeff

We're gonna need someone to 3D print an 8.2 Detroit Diesel for that,lol ! Nice project Charles !

No bench time today,,,had to work ,,,my part time gig is turning out to be more an overtime gig ! ......I'll just have more $$ for the hobby thats all ,lol ,,,but anyway,,,I found this video,,,I'll do my under reach pretty much like this has,,the 600 Holmes kinda gets lost in there! ,,,,looks like a little bit of this and a little bit of that,,,that old KW has a lot of stories to tell no doubt!

That HiBinder is my favorite!

Nice builds Jeff! The Hayes is sweet!

Looks great Gary,,,the round front fenders really give the old school look!

Merry Christmas guys......... did a bit last night and this morning,,,installed the KW front axle...it will work ,wasn't sure and test fitted Jamie's front floats ,,,looks like measure twice and cut once worked on centering the axle,,good guess work too,height looks about right have to see once the rears are in place,lol,hogged out the interior tub and the cab fits with the engine in place so I should be ok,,,and I had to swap the oil pan to a rear sump to clear the axle ..which I figured I had to do anyway,,cobbled up an A/C condenser and trans cooler and I guess I have to make slack adjusters and brake chamber push rods which Revell neglected to do .Extended front of frame for push bumper and winch,,I have a KFS winch which I think I can modify to fit

I love that Loadstar!

Thats looking sweet Gary!

Thanks Gary !

Thanks Brian! Thanks Jeff! I think this is my toughest build yet

Charge Air Cooler/radiator cobbled up ,used some CTM rad mesh,K&S aluminum tube and styrene for the CAC,used some styrene and a Parts by Parks aluminum pulley for the fan drive,,just had to nip a bit off each blade of the Kenworth fan .... front engine mount support bar in place .Sanding and filling of hollow air bags continues-almost there . Hood-rad-engine-cab-interior tub-wrecker body test fit -I think it will fly,,may have to hog out some of the thick interior tub to clear the back of the engine and gain just a bit of room behind the cab ,it still has to come closer to the hood anyway ,it's gonna be close ,,,worse case I stretch the frame a bit .Changed the outlet orientation of the turbo and altered the inlet of the intake manifold .Shot the Allison aluminum and attached to the engine,,,still needs the pto and hyd pump ,,,should have room

A couple of these were started in 23 and finished in 24

Gary,,I use Tamiya chalk,,,easy to use and if ya don't like it comes off with a damp paper towel

I have my tablet at my bench if I need to research something or in this case watch Detroit Wayno on Youtube...lol check this episode out on the Old 2 Stroker Youtube channel >

Had to work a few hours today ..now back at the bench...had to revise the rad assy some in order to have room for the CAC and still have hood clearance ,,sanding and contouring the hollow air bags....added pulley and fan drive to the MP8 which also required modifying some plumbing that was casted into the front of the engine,,no biggy ..I think that engine might have been set up for a Volvo cabover,,,just a guess,,,,intake air inlet will also have to change for hood clearance which I figured would have to be done anyway ...pics later or tomorrow

Yeah I knew that Volvo owns Mack,,I wasn't sure where the MP8 came from..an existing kit or what ,ST Supply sent it to me in a bag with his label on it
