kilrathy10 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 This is a very nice looking project you've got, here, Man.....Your hard work is really paying off dividends.....I like the idea of the window tint....Never though of that....I'm, definitely, gonna have to try that one....Great work....
Trailking120 Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 KJ you should show Tom this. Did his truck have the Detroit in it? I thought tom was a Cat guy I remember his old Pete 377 had a 425 Cat in it.

I honestly can't remember what he had for a motor in it. I was thinking it was a detroit, but I could be thinking of his Western Star. No changing it now, this model has a detroit Got a little more work done tonight, still plenty of details left to address, but it is starting to take shape.
Pavel A. Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Imposant truck! KJ it is very high level. I like it. Paul.
Jim B Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Really nice! I'm loking forward to seeing this "in person" in Utica. Edited March 14, 2014 by Jim B
BigBad Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Looks great as is already! What did you use for the exhaust shields? What about the seal between the cab and sleeper cab?
KJ790 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Looks great as is already! What did you use for the exhaust shields? What about the seal between the cab and sleeper cab? Thanks! For the exhaust shields I used stainless steel shim stock and painted the holes and Kenworth letters with black paint. It actually came out looking pretty good. I used a piece of wire between the cab and sleeper.
Trailking120 Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Looking great KJ I hope it can make it our Spring Thaw show
BigBad Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Very convincing! Thanks for the tip on the exhaust shield and the cab seal. Nice to see a later model W900, I like it!
KJ790 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Finished up the intake piping and steering shaft. I tried to put a little "grease" on the slip joint of the steering shaft, but I'm not sure I like how it came out. I may have to play with that a bit.
Trailking120 Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 KJ This really look great . Hope its coming through Utica soon
Tesla Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 This is awesome KJ...great scratchbuilding! I've just started to scratchbuild and I'm hooked.
tbill Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 looks great, I hope to see this in person in Utica............hint, hint....
kilrathy10 Posted March 15, 2014 Posted March 15, 2014 Yep....Came out nice and smooth.....Great job....
KJ790 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks guys! I made some load bars and put them on a rack on the back of the cab. Now I just need to do my air hoses/electrical chord to hook to a trailer and this build will be pretty much done.
BigBad Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Yep, like the load bars! I made some for my Volvo a while back, it really does add to the look! Really nice KW you have there!
