k100 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 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 .
Pete68 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 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.
bigred63 Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 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?
gotnitro? Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Good looking build project ! Can't go wrong w an Aussie truck!
tbill Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 This is going to be cool, can’t wait to see this one come together.
k100 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 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.
gotnitro? Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Man thats coming along nice ! Perfect choice for tires too major upgrade from stock
k100 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks Jeff the front rims and tries are from Scenes Unlimited . thank you Bill . question for you guys I’m going to use the engine from Revell 359 what do you guys think, I think it sets a little low . Any help would be appreciated . thank you
Force Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 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.
Olskoolrodder Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 This is off to a great start and is going to be sweet!
bigred63 Posted January 4, 2021 Posted January 4, 2021 Looking Good! I like it that you added to the frame!
