1975 Kenworth K100

[jimb]

So in my never ending quest to clear up the "Shelf of Shame", I have pulled my 1975 Kenworth K100 Oneida Freight out of moth-balls & onto the work bench. Why I do this when it's cold & I cannot use spray paint, I have no idea.
Anyway, this is what I am going for:





I started with the AMT Kenworth K123 kit back on 24 JAN 12, and this is where I am right now. I wanted to show you exactly how it looks with the dust & broken parts & all (ok, I did remove a dead bug from being wedged between the passenger seat & the doghouse).


Frame:





Engine (swapping out the Cummins NTA370 for a Caterpillar 3408; larger radiator from AMT K100 Aerodyne kit):





Interior:








Cab (replacing the narrow grill from the kit with the grill from the AMT K100 Aerodyne):





And that's where we stand. More updates soon, I hope.

Hi. Looks good. Nice decals. Thanks Doug.

Thanks, Doug. Those decals are nice; they're yours.

Here's this weekend update. The cab is mostly done. Air deflector still need to be painted, decaled, & mounted; and the P/E logos & door handles need to be attached. There is also some small touch-up painting that needs to be done, but it's a lot closer than it's been in years.
