Steer Car and Kenworth tow rig—New Pics- 12-2-18

[DrKerry]

Drawing up ideas for front dolly that’ll be behind the lead tractor! It’ll also be

what the Steer Car gets hooked to for tow back.

[Mopar - D]

Dr Kerry you make it look so easy on paper. Looking forward to seeing more progress. 

[Foxer]

Very cool project ... looks like a chopped, channeled and sectioned truck.

Seems like the most interesting projects have always started on a napkin sketch lol  heard years ago designers at GM or Chrysler doodled ideas while at lunch but after tossing napkin in trash someone collected it and used idea later 

Sounds like my co workers lol

I’ve heard that myself!! I’ve had a few ideas for Kustom kars that have started that way!! Idea pops into my head and I sketch it out before it’s gone or I just write out what it was!!

Started cutting and building the dolly that will be behind the main rig!

I’ll get some pics today!!

[Detroit Dave]

I never imagined anything like this but it is so cool I'm hooked - Can't wait to see more.

[DrKerry]

Been working a little on the dolly, get back to working on the Steer Car over the weekend though!!

[DrKerry]

Did some more frame work last night! Front of the frame will be on tonight. Dolly is roughed in, now I need to work on suspension for that. 

The main tow rig will be a KW pulling a Pete steer car. 

I had to move my modeling back into the basement yesterday so it took awhile doing that. Hopefully get some photos today/tonight!!

Thinking of trying to make a concrete type beam to run over it. Girder would be to tedious for me right now and a beam of some sort would be quicker.
