  1. I like what you've done so far.
  2. http://<iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://s206.photobucket.com/user/flatbedkw/embed/slideshow/Fruehauf dump trailer reference pix"></iframe>
  3. That is really cool. I love the paintjob.
  4. I like what you've done. The wiper marks are a nice touch.
  5. Nice build of a classic KW.
  6. The KW engine is an NTC 290. It had a turbo but the regular intake manifold like in the Freightliner COE kits instead of the aftercooler like other turbo Cummins engines. The other one would be an NTC 350 or NTC 400. Most likely, judging by the name plate(It says Freightliner instead of White Freightliner) I would say it's a BIG CAM. Cummins introduced the BIG CAM in the mid 1970s.
  7. It looks pretty sweet in that color.
  8. I love that paintjob. Very nice.
  9. That looks good. Nice job on the weathering.
  10. Thanks for posting the KW release pic. I look forward to it I'm enjoying watching this one come together.
  11. It's so unique and different. I like it. I can picture this unit doing hay rides at state fairs for some reason.
  12. Nice looking unit. The Diamond Reo goes well with the dump.
  13. I like both builds and the real thing is really sharp. It's always nice to still have builds from decades ago.
  14. I like this conversion. The lift gate looks with it.
  15. Nice build. That green and white tractor is really sharp.
  16. I always liked this kit myself and yours built into a great looking fleet truck. Only thing missing is a wind fairing. As to the short bumper, another reason was weight savings. Every pound counts and the lighter the truck, the heavier the load it can carry. It didn't save much, but like I said, in the eyes of management at a fleet, every pound counts.
  17. What color did you use on the cab? I like the tan/beige color and the blue looks great too.
  18. As always, a great paintjob. This really looks sharp.
  19. This does look nice. The color combination is nice.
  20. I sure hope so!! That's great news.
