Got a little more paint on the cab today. Needs some touching up, but all in all it should work.

Nice paint job!

Looking good I guessed your plans correctly. A bit of info the cat powered w9s Monfort had didn't have painted fuel tanks like the rest of the fleet which had small cam 350 Cummins and 4 x 4 transmissions.

Good eye. They had the lower door handles (paddle style) with diamond plate battery box covers and unpainted fuel tanks.

I believe they also had the bigger air cleaners. They were the last Monfort w 9s as the next group Monfort bought were k 100s with 8v71t 350 detroits and allisons. The detroits didn't hold up well and some were replaced by the then new Cummins kt 450. Really liking this build.

Awesome work....beautiful truck...engine weathering is top notch...!

WOW! I'm at a loss for words!! You have a way of capturing that old school look!! To say that I really like this one is an understatement!

[gotnitro?]

Another awesome build you have going KJ !! Cool how small tweaks can give the trucks a completely new look and capturing that Ole school look along the way ! Very nice

Hope your vacation was a great time too!

Finished up the grille and added a little weathering to the hood.

[lapazleo]

Cool, I can't wait to see it. I used the kit frame, but I shortened it and removed the kit suspension mounts.

[GearUpJammer]

Just awesome!

[DumpyDan]

Looks so good, detailing on the motor is awesome

[k100]

Looking real nice Kurt.

[Andrew Howard]

i like the way you have changed the snap kit,making it look a world better KJ,Robert Nagle did one of these over on Hanks,they look great,with the colour scheme.

[KJ790]

Managed to get the chassis painted and weathered. The engine is now in its final resting place. I just mocked the cab up to make sure everything clears. I had to move the hood hinges a little, but it should all fit. It sure is tight though!

[DRIPTROIT 71]

I can not say enough how much I like this truck!! Excellent work!! Ready to see more!!

[KJ790]

Thanks guys! I worked on some fuel tanks last night.

 

[KJ790]

I almost had a paint disaster while clearing over the decals, but I think I have salvaged it. Here is where it stands tonight.

[Tesla]

This turned out really nice KJ!
