Hello and Happy New Year , hope everyone is doing well. 
This is my 2021 entry I’ll be using AMT Kenworth W-925 along with Auslowe’s Alaskan Hauler Transkit and a 46 inch Aerodyne sleeper.

I know what your thinking a 46” Aerodyne sleeper on an Alaskan Hauler ,are you crazy but I think  it will be a unique rig . 
Thanks for looking .

I’ll be watching this one and who wants to be in the main stream all the time I’m always looking to build something different it will look fine.

I will be following this build! I want to see how the Auslowe kit looks like! Have you decided, if you are going tom use single or double headlights?

Thanks guys for all the complements, Ronnie I think I’ll use the double head light just to be different . 
update I got the frame together and stretched I added an 1/2 inch added another fuel tank on the right side , the rear wheel came in yesterday from Jamie .

I also decided to go with duel air intakes so I took an old hood that I had laying around (didn’t want to screw up the resin one ) and an opening on the left side .

thanks for looking.

Nice progress.
I looked at pictures of real trucks and about half of the base of the air kompressor shows above the frame rails, so maybe it's a tad low but it can't be that far off.
