Badluck 13 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 The old "W" was such a cool basic work horse,nice job on keeping it that way....looks good!!
Jim B Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Looks really nice. I like your fifth wheel detail. May I make a quick suggestion? Take some 3/16" (5mm) aluminum tubing and replace to solid piece of plastic rod that that AMT gives you for the exhaust stack. It'll realy improve the look. Doing it on this one might require some disassembly, so better to try it on the next one. Just a thought.
signguy2108 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Looks nice. I'm drooling all over my laptop, brings back a lot of memories!

Your right about the AMT stack,I done this before without disassembly on a truck I finished and did this as an after thought, I just snipped the stack down a little and slid the tubbing over it which also helped to support it.
Jim B Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 Jacobus, I'm not sure what you have in Holland, but you can check with K&S Metals; they sell a lot of tubing to the modeling industry. Also, it you want a really chrome stack (probably not on this build) check in electronics stores for collapasable antennas for radios.
