k100 Posted November 7, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k100 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
