Been a long time....

So it's been awhile since I've posted anything... Here's a kenworth snapper I've been working on.. Cut the aerodyne off and put a 36" sleeper on it. Also building a custom spreadaxle fruehauf to pull behind it. The trailer has working vent doors on front and rear. Just like all the spud trailers do. It also has a custom drop ICC bumper on it.

Thanks for looking!

Looking pretty good, here, Man....Like the spread on that trailer......

Real nice project...I've got a cab and sleeper setup the same as yours for a future build

[Chris guthro]

Where did the stacks come from? I love the way they look!

[Jim B]

You're off to a good start. I like the W900 AeroDyne in the background, too.

[Brinx]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing your progress.

I'm presently doing the same idea as yours, the snap KW with the Pete sleeper (going for a Snowman/SatB).

[freightshaker]

I actually made the stacks from evergreen tubing. I just mitre cut and the put the angles together to make the bull haulers. Then sanded and smoothed out all sharp corners to round and soften them. Cutting the aerodyne off of the kw was almost as much of a challenge as smoothing out the whole left on the cab. I was trying to save as much of the bunk as I could for any future project I might need it. Also if your careful and patient with it you can make smoothing that cab out a lot easier. Thanks for the comments. I will post more progress as I make it.

Thanks Jim, that's an older kW I built. Here's another shot of it.

[Chris guthro]

What did you use to paint them stacks? Or are they metal?

[freightshaker]

The stacks on the blue aerodyne are covered in chrome vinyl.

[freightshaker]

Update, got paint shot on the kenworth today. Clear coated as well. It's a mint green metallic. Just a pic of the mock up.

Close up of the paint.

Trailer painted. Working on lights and details.

Rear doors.

Thanks for looking! More to come.

Great looking builds.

[72 Charger]

That Green looks real nice

[Mackvision]

What did you use for the fender guides on the ends of the bumper? they look sharp!...................................Mark

[freightshaker]

Thanks, the paint is by far the best I've done till now. As for the bumper guides they're just simple small diameter styrene tubing bent to make a guide and small amber lenses put on top.

Really coming along, Man....This looks good....I like that spread on the trailer.....
