Plashdaddy Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Hi Guys & Gals, last week I shared some pics of a couple of rigs my grandad built for my uncle in the Seventies. My uncle has given them to me, and I’m trying to restore the ‘Movin’ On’ Kenny to give back to him. As you may have seen, paint was limited to the cab & hood and the rest had been pretty haphazardly ‘assembled’. Well I started the process this weekend, degreaser bath, disassembly and a little re-assembly. It would of course be easier to buy a Round 2 reissue, but it’s been around for so long, I want to try and save it. Thanks for the advice & tips in advance!

Hermann Kersten Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 A hell of a job to strip and clean everything, but the progress on first pictures looking good. Hermann. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PettyKW43 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 It’s great seeing old glue bombs being given a second chance ! What better way or should I say fun way to recycle! Looking great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plashdaddy Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 Some more progress, as some of you probably noticed in the engine shots at least, a few pieces weren’t assembled in the correct places or around the wrong way. Anyway, I’m getting there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatorincebu Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 You have taken on a good restoration project. From the photos it looked a bit rough to say the least. But you seem to be making good progress on it . Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plashdaddy Posted June 29, 2019 Author Share Posted June 29, 2019 Small progress, I know the red air brakes aren’t the most realistic but I was looking for a bit of contrast instead of a sea of black. i don’t know why but there’s three rubber one piece tyres, and the rest are two piece plastic. I’m guessing they all got mixed up when the two rigs and trailers were being built the first time. anyway, thanks for all y’alls interest & kind words.

gatorincebu Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Nice work on the chassis. You did a fine job on cleaning up the cab and sleeper ! Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plashdaddy Posted July 9, 2019 Author Share Posted July 9, 2019 Update time! Realised I hadn’t put the steps on the tanks, so I pulled ‘em off, stuck ‘em on & resprayed them. Got the motor in the chassis. Made some new pins so I could mount the guards back on. I’ve accepted that as rough as it was in the first place, it’s never going to be as good as if I’d started with a fresh kit, but I’m happy with it’s progress. Thanks for checking in!

Had a fit issue with the hood not reaching back to the cab because of the radiator, so I’ve moved it back now, since these pics of the test fits.

Plashdaddy Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hi Guys, sorry for the lack of updates. I think I’ve gotten the truck to a point where (for my skill level) it’s as nice as it’s gonna get. Here’s one pic, I’ll post the rest in the appropriate board.
