kilrathy10 Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Outstanding work, Man...Very nice work...This is one of the best...
Mr mopar Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Kenworth cabover looks good with that unit on the back!
Simon Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Unbelievable, David! I would never have thought of doing this. Great concept and so many excellent details, like the yellow insides to the airhorns ( I guess you hollowed them out?) Also glad to see that like me, you like to sand the tyres to take off the rubber shine. Also like the mini magazines inside the cab. The whole thing sits really nicely, too, and that's a lot of axles to line up. What a rig - love it.
truckaddict Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 looking great. how did you do the hinges on the lockers?
ghoodii Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 Nice job!!!!! The Kenworth looks right at home with the wrecker behind it. Where did you get all the marker lights down the side????

The tyres were sanded and then wethered with cement dust ! The magazines came from the scale images out of Truck model World magazine. The axels where a pain in the you know what ha ha I broke 3 wheels off while building it so they have been pinned with brass rod . Ive always wanted to do this build as soon as i saw the can do wrecker it took about 6 months to finish her and im very happy with how it tured out. Thanks for looking

Where did you get all the marker lights down the side???? Thanks george the lights came from the can do kit but I had some extra ones from another can do kit i had in my stash
72 Charger Posted December 13, 2012 Author Posted December 13, 2012 looking great. how did you do the hinges on the lockers? Hi al the hinged doors were pinned with brass rod some very fiddley drilling into the posts they do all work but I try not to open them very often as the post are very fragile if I do another I wont be opening the doors!

Tony Bryan Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 This is a great build, and really suits the KW, This would be a great kit instead of the Can do wrecker,
