kilrathy10 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Got this one in the works....I only started it this afternoon....I stretched the frame and built a drom box for it....These snaps build up rather quickly, yet they still look pretty good....I found some orange engine paint at the dollar store and bought 4 cans....Coverage is quite good....Can't wait to get some more done, tomorrow....
72 Charger Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 That dorm box looks good and its going to be loud in that orange
kilrathy10 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Totally getting there...I've never built one of these kits, and with a little work, this thing looks really good...I'm gonna have to buy a few more of these.... Edited January 24, 2013 by kilrathy10
Truck parts Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 That is one sweet looking rig!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be following this build as you go.
outkast1027 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 hey jt looking good my man have one of those kits in front of the race trailer you built me. just built it box stock no fancy detailing like you but looks pretty good. can't wait to see how yours turns out.
dee Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 looks good in that color. gonna be a sharp truck when its done.
kilrathy10 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Boys....You guys chimed in and I hadn't finished posting pics...But thank you very much....It looks like this is gonna be another Allied Van Lines truck....The orange paint I found seems to be close to a perfect match, and I just can't wait to get my hands on some more...

ewaskew Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Thats looking real good and clean JT ,it will be another nice one. That trailer you sent is very cool and it will be a looooooooooong rig hooked to my black truck. Thanks for working one up for me.
hooknladderno1 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 JT, How much did you stretch the frame? Looking good!
kilrathy10 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) Got quite a bit more done, today...I'm almost done...It's gonna be another Allied Van Lines truck... Edited January 26, 2013 by kilrathy10
kilrathy10 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 JT, How much did you stretch the frame? Looking good! Exactly 2"
towman1271 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 You always turn out great work with lots of imagination!!!!!!!
Old Albion Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 That looks great! those seminole stripes always looked good on a KW.
mackinac359 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 When the snap kits came out, some people 'poo=poo'd' them - but with some massaging and imagination you end up with results like this. Looks good ! Tim
ewaskew Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Man that looks good,I like all the custom work on it,makes it looks like an o/o rig with his own touches added to it. And as Tim said you can work with these snap glue combo trucks if you put some thought in to it.
kilrathy10 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Posted January 27, 2013 I'm calling this part of the build finished....I appreciate all of your comments on this build, greatly....Thank you guys, so much...I'm not totally finished with it, though, as you KNOW, this bad boy is gonna get a 53' moving van....I want to give a special shout out to Earl Miller for the EXCELLENT trailer lines he made....These things really brought it to life....I can't wait to get started on that trailer, now....He's selling them for around $15 a shot....Just shoot him a message or something....You know him as "ewaskew"...
Jim B Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Looks great, and those lines are really nice. Might have to look into those.
farmer1 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 That's a really sharp rig, nice job on all the added details.
