Canepa KW, new project

[alangarber]

looking good Tom That color really stands out.

[Tesla]

Tom what did you use for the clear coat?

[tbill]

thanks guys, that sleeper was a royal pain.

Dennis, it's testors lacquer clear, at work now, i'll post the product number later on, it's ultra gloss or something to that effect. i really like it, you can load it on and it doesn't seem to run/sag or pool up, or maybe i am just getting really lucky

[Tesla]

Thank you. I can't stop admiring how nice the paint job came out

[tbill]

Dennis, model master 28139 is the lacquer clear, ultra gloss

I can't wait to see how it looks with the hood and fairings in place. gotta do the sleeper interior next......that should be fun...hehe..

[Old Buckaroo]

Not only is the paint spectacular I like the fact that "rivets died" in this episode. Rivets are so overrated anyhow.

[tbill]

progress, [note, radiator is just sitting there for test fit, that's why it's crooked ]

[Old Buckaroo]

Bill that chassis looks great ! Is that flocking I see going on in the cab floor ?

May I offer a suggestion ? Relocate your shifters towards the driver seat. None of the Brownie's I ever drove or worked on was like this. The shifters are normally in alignment with the transmission in a regular cab. I would keep the location of the shifter on the left side of passenger seat and put the other to the right of the driver seat. I dont know why AMT has them there.

ya, first instinct was 'that ain't right', but then the thought of them never being seen again once installed in the cab prohibited the movement of them, lol.

and yes, that was an attempt at flocking using something that isn't flock. it worked ok, but i have ordered some flock

Looking good, Man....That's a great looking chassis, and the dash looks pretty cool, too....

[Tesla]

Looks real nice Bill. Thanks for the updates!

[tbill]

dragging my feet a bit on this one. got the interior almost all painted up on the sleeper, it's looking pretty good I think. been puttering on the tanker trailer for it as well [two builds from heck, go figure], pretty soon though it should all come together.

thanks for following along.

[tbill]

more progress, almost at the end of this one......

[Old Buckaroo]

That looks mighty fine Tom, great color combination. Will there be a logo on the doors or sleeper ?

[alangarber]

Looks good, that is a nice color combo.

[Jim B]

Very nice job. I've heard that this kit can try one's patience.

[tbill]

thanks guys. Jim, more than once I wanted to shelve this thing, but I just had to keep plugging along at it.

Sean, yes, as soon as I can get my daughter to resize some stuff for me.............don't quite have a handle on that yet, lol.

here's part of the trailer to go with it,

[Tesla]

Real nice work Tom. The trailer looks good also.

[tbill]

trailer is now on wheels,

and made some door decals for the truck,

[MoparWoman Jamie]

[kilrathy10]

That looks pretty good as a tanker yanker....Great work on the truck.....That's a beautiful paint job.....Makes me want to get another T-600 going....Awesome work....

[tbill]

thanks guys. i think i will have this done finally by the weekend. got all the rest of the trailer bits painted, just have to glue it all together

[rctruk]

Your truck is looking great. I can't wait to see some outdoor pics. Bet those colors look outstanding in the sun.

[tbill]
