Kenworth W-925 (mild custom)

[Biggu]

Gary, your eye for the custom details is fabulous. You have a vision that I don’t see for myself and then to execute those ideas to precision is really fun to watch come together. I really like this project.

Thanks Jeff, sometimes lucky sometimes another part for the “box of bad ideas”

Starting to get some final assembly done, rear fender next.

Had to lower the bumper (about .030) in order for the hood to rotate open correctly.

Looks like your mirrors took the paint well.  Did you do any special prep for painting them?  They look great!

Washed in dish soap, primer twice, light sand to clean up bugers then paint and clear.  Was surprised the detail came out so well. Cool part is my mirrors rotate on the aluminum rod so I can align them like a real truck where passenger side is turned in more. Silly little detail

Good progress today, headache, frames deck, rear light panel and fenders all on.

Fuel tanks next

OH Man, that is sexy...

Got the exhaust on, thinking about yellow lights and a test fit to make sure trailer clears fenders.

Looking fabulous, Gary - progress is really moving along!

A very impressive rig Gary! 

Tidy work and beautiful dezails!

Looking great Gary!

This grill thing is just OVER, it’s not fitting correctly, the center bar came out again. I am starting over with a new hood, flares and redesigned grill. Hood is prepped for primer, got another set of flares flat sanded and fitted to fenders, grill will be different, I have some custom grill material that I will experiment with. Another grill in the purple pond.
