W900L Kenworth and Frameless Dump

[DRIPTROIT 71]

This is a W900 from Jamie, it will be powered by a C-15 from Jamie as well. It will be on the Revell W900 chassis. The trailer is by Gary Wallace. I think that it was probably out of Dave Natale’s collection. I bought it off of Ebay from Anthony Natale. I have been wanting to build a frameless dump for a long time. I’m going to try to make a case for this as well, because I don’t have anywhere to put it when I am done.?

its gonna look great when finished..a case is ease to make. go to YouTube you will find video's their to help you..just type in.... how to make a display case for a plastic model.....or models....or large models.

This will be another great project. I appreciate the wide variety of truck builds you make - everything from vintage to modern.

Looking forward to your build! 

I remember that trailer being on his show table a few times, glad ya picked it up.

This is gonna be a cool project.

Looks interesting!

Project looks well on its way to be a sharp combo!  Assuming the KW has a regular back window?

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Thanks for all the comments guys! This one has the little back window. It is starting to look like a truck now.

[Gary Chastain]

That’s looking really good, gonna be watching

[vincen47]

I like the look of the long frame with the daycab.

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Thanks guys!

 I have a floor pan and shifter.

[Gary Chastain]

Wow, haven’t seen that done before, looks really cool

[vincen47]

Nice shifter and flooring!

Nice touch on the flooring. 

And that knob almost looks like an orange!

The shifter is Evergreen plastic rod and the collar at the top is aluminum tube. The ball is a straight pin. The buttons are scrap styrene.

Thanks for the comments guys! I have actually made some progress on this project. I even have the case finished.

Here is the truck so far.

This one definitely has many interesting details and the overall look is superb.  Nice paint work also, I like it!

Love that aggressive looking visor and fenders, that driver makes a statement 

Looking forward to more updates
