Ken Gilkeson Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Mike, maybe it has to do with it still being sealed. thanx to all for the compliments. I use a video camera for the pics so the resolution is never going to be super sharp. I take fishing videos as a priority.
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 thanx much Sam, new at this - I'll try to improve images and what they show.
guitarsam326 Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 thanx much Sam, new at this - I'll try to improve images and what they show. Oh, no complaints on pics here, they look nostalgic!
tbill Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 that is a sharp looking truck I don't think I have seen a rig with white walls before......they seem to suit it though

Ken Gilkeson Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 how long ago did you order them? I have heard he is not currently filling orders. that comes from the guy that provided the artwork to him.
williamchevelleman1972 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 It was quite some time ago. And what frame did you use for yours, I know what they say should be used but was curious what you used and your pete is just AMAZING! the detail and paint is just sweet!
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 29, 2015 Author Posted March 29, 2015 william I used the amt 359 frame shortened of course. the front step down will allow the mounting of the cab to pivot in the grill correctly. thanx for the kind comments, I'll answer any question you may have.
williamchevelleman1972 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Also how did you make the cab hinges so itll tilt forward, any pics you may have will also help.
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 William I know your cab is different but can be done in a similar manner. the right drill bit size made the fit snug enuff to not need glue. the outside appearance is barely visible. if you should have anymore questions feel free to ask.
fantacmet Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 I did use the future about a third of the bottle, but I did use most of what I did in a period of about a month or two, and it's been sealed since, maybe that's the reason. Only other thing I can see is I've had stuff for longer coated in future that is still clear others have had less time and has yellowed. Might be dependant upon the particular batch. I haven't used it in some time, these days I generally don't have a need for it. If I do it's just as a surface for decals on aircraft and armor models, then it gets gone over with clear flat. The decal graphics on the fenders I love. They have actually inspired me for some future projects(not copying the idea's just inspiration). Gave me some outside the box thinking for bigrig paint jobs.
Ken Gilkeson Posted April 1, 2015 Author Posted April 1, 2015 good to hear from you Michael. mine could have been a bad batch, use it on gauges only. if you have been inspired by something it is good to hear. I don't really study real truck pictures much, and try not to replicate anything.
