towman1271 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 I've pushed the paint issue myself before.. Hard not to.. Love the direction you're heading with this!
clayton Posted April 5, 2018 Author Posted April 5, 2018 Been going good,now it wants to fight. just a few more days. Got the cab on for mockup.
TheSDTrucker Posted April 5, 2018 Posted April 5, 2018 Looking great! I love the color combination, really makes it stand out!
clayton Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 Test photo,just playing around. May merry the cab and frame tonight.
clayton Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 Update,starting to look like something. Needs a little tweaking here and there. Need a idea on the toolbox may use the kit tanks and be done.
Sergey Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Nice painting scheme! Will you leave the stacks so far from cab?
clayton Posted April 6, 2018 Author Posted April 6, 2018 Yeah,,I know it looks goofy, did not want too do all the relocating of box and aircleaner and reworking the plumbing.

clayton Posted April 7, 2018 Author Posted April 7, 2018 In the home stretch. A little tweaking here and a few bits there. Yep watching Metv.?
clayton Posted April 8, 2018 Author Posted April 8, 2018 Not just yet,need a little dab of ca glue and maybe rework the tanks and decals it will be done. I may rework the stacks later on for now there done.

clayton Posted April 9, 2018 Author Posted April 9, 2018 I sanded down the joints. Not sure if I'm going to foil them or paint. White or orange or white with a orange trim.

Are you going for a fleet truck or a nice work truck? If it's a fleet truck, they painted them with either the frame or cab color. A nice work truck usually has chrome, but some people like to have painted tanks with different trim colors. The ones I see the most here have a colored tank with end caps and straps painted a different color. I think an orange tank would look good with white end caps and straps. Another one I see is chrome with the colored end caps and straps. They both look neat in my opinion.
TheSDTrucker Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Hmm.. a toolbox. That would be interesting to see on that truck.

clayton Posted April 12, 2018 Author Posted April 12, 2018 New idea just hit me,late nite is when my thinking starts. happened to think I do have a trailer after all. Little paint decals and there you go. Built the trailer years ago for another build may use it for this one. It is a reefer with a underslung TK. Built it from memory and web hunting.it's in need of a few bits.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted April 12, 2018 Posted April 12, 2018 Looks good with the trailer! I thought I was the only one who still used oil lamps and had an 8-track player.
