k100 Posted November 7, 2012 Posted November 7, 2012 So I was setting here looking at all the model that are falling apart ,I came upon an Kenworth Aerodyne COE , being one of my favorite trucks that thought I would rebuild it . I thought would try some thing different ,I decided to cut it down to an 86" cab.
Mr mopar Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Glad to see you put the vent in the front of the cab ,looks much better. Amt miss that .
Jim Whalen Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Hi, This'll be something a bit different - good idea! Looks like you've made a good start to the project. Cheers, Jim
Kostas Parchas Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 So far so good... Keep it coming. Kostas.
Truck parts Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Looking good. It will be nice when it's done.
Jeff Johnston Posted November 10, 2012 Posted November 10, 2012 Wow that's some major plastic surgery, and it looks great. Keep the pics coming !.
cowboysevens Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 nice job on the cut down. any updates ??
k100 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 Thank you, nothing new yet , I'm working alot of overtime right now.
k100 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Just a up date on the 86' Aerodyne . I got the frame shortened up this weekend , this gives you an ideal what it's going to look like. Edited January 21, 2013 by k100
kilrathy10 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Excellent work....That really looks good, Man...
Old Albion Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Nice work on the cab! That looks really good.
truckabilly Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Great job on shortening the cab. Looks really nice.
Guest Johnny Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 How much did you remove from the cab and the frame?
k100 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the comments, I cut 7/8 from the edge of the door , then 1/2 in. from the raised roof , and 3/8 in. from the lower roof. As for the frame I cut between the frist and third cross members about 2 5/8 in. Edited January 23, 2013 by k100
olsbooks Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 That is going to be a nice piece. Great job!
