Another KW cabover

[KJ790]

I started on a new cabover KW build recently. I started with an AMT Kenworth K123 kit, then added 8 bag air-ride suspension from a KW snap kit. Here is where I am so far:

Looking good. I like the update on the suspension.

[slusher]

Solid start and I like the paint scheme on the cab...

[KJ790]

Thanks guys. I got a bunch of work done on it tonight, but then it slipped out of my hands, caught the edge of the table, and hit the floor... A few curse words later and I'm almost back to where I was before the accident:

[Jim B]

Good save.

[truckabilly]

Nice recovery. I like the colors too.

This one is going to be old #26. We bought two of these in 1980 that were identical. This one is going to get some of your step ladders and one of your wide grilles Rick.

You can see the two of them in the foreground of this old pic. I will have to come up with a better pic to post later.

I have 3 photo albums of old pictures, but I have only scanned a few onto a computer as of now. I need to find some time to scan them into my computer.
