Sound slike I may go medieveil on ya here in one or two more pics....I don't have that Tyco Miller Porsche before ya hack it to death swap me one.. I even have spare AFx ones...

Dave

Ouch for the Miller!!! Please trade it before cutting!!! RM

Can't think of a better Truck to hack.. you can't screw it up.. Those KW's are the one of the ugliest things on the road... Also the reason for the excessive paint wear on the roads... they have the nose to close to the ground and continually sniff the paint off the centerline,, much like a bloodhound...

CJ(it ain't good if it don't have a hood)53

Hmm a porscheworth?? Will be interesting, but as said, I wouldn't hack a Miller Porsche, when the dime a dozens are readily available.. has the surgery already begun Dr. DD??

Coach, I'm not entirely sure this one is a Miller 962. It's one of those primer dipped bodies from that lot we split about a year or so ago. There is some primer that flaked off the front corner and some gold is showing. But the windshild is also missing and there is a bad crack in the nose. It might have been worth saving but I'm pretty sure it will be better off as a race truck.;)

The cab has already been cut down a little and the front fenders removed. I'll be using the 962 fenders with the KW cab, hood and grill. Will get down to hacking up the porsche after dinner.

Preliminary fitting:

This is looking interesting!!! But I'm left wondering where it goes from here??? Hmm....

DD,
Bring it on! First pic looks great. :thumbsup: rr

Reminds me of the old winged rig racers that Matchbox produced back in the day. Interesting. I always thought the concept of racing rigs around an oval was cool. Smokey 'n the Bandit comes to mind....

PD2:thumbsup:

very interesting....... I think i'm gonna really like this :thumbsup:

Verrrry interesting!

That sits in there real nice. Your truck / car builds are great and this is fun to watch you in action DD.

Bob...are you gonna have a C.B. in the cab still?...zilla

I'm waiting.............................

Wes

Now that's a race truck!!! ...RM

Way kool race truck. This is a version I've been working on for a while. It runs a modified Atlas chassis that will scream after a couple more changes.

Ok, here's the pics.

Ok, here's the pics.

Nice job.:thumbsup:

But I keep thinking that cab would look great morphed onto a Lola GT. :D

I likes that 5th wheel setup. Had thought about that with a single trailer, but the 2 car ramp looks good!!! RM

Ok, waiting for the second round of filler putty to set up so I can sand it. Meanwhile, I'm sizing up the next project.

Whaddyathink? :D

Preliminary fitting:


I really need to lay off the sauce.... :freak:

(Looks good...)
(But I want to see it running on Youtube...)

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah a Big Mac...

Oddrods that is a neat hauler you have there.

Bob...I know this is gonna look cool also...zilla

I really need to lay off the sauce.... :freak:

(Looks good...)
(But I want to see it running on Youtube...)Heh, That's funny. 'Cause I know there are those who look at a pic like that and think, "That Dragon needs to lay off the sauce." :D

Uh, Is that sauce available in stores??? RM

But a Big Mac isn't a Big Mac without the special sauce..... It would just be: Two all beef patties, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. It just don't sound right!!! :tongue:

Some crazy creations popping up on this thread.. I must keep watching to see where it goes... :thumbsup::thumbsup: Oddrods, that car hauler is really cool... especially with that mustang wagon on it... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks, The trailer is far from done but it's a start. I built the truck because I love the semi racing that they do in europe but I like older vehicles.The front wheels will be tucked into the fenders after I finish the mods to the Atlas chassis. That Kenorsche is gonna be great! I like people that think outside the box. The lines of the 2 vehicles merge very well for sure.

Is this going to be a turbo diesel?

Getting closer......

GTP originally meant "Grand Touring Prototype". DD has given the acronym new meaning: "Great Truck Prototypes"! Some will see these vehicles as sacrilege. I see them as awesome inovations!

:drunk::hat::freak::dude:

Just too cool!!! And with the Hutt Seal of Approval it can only mean one thing!!! These are top shelf in the awesomeness department!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Can't wait to see them painted!!!

Bizarre - but a lot of Kool Kustoms are, aren't they? The cabs and grilles fit so nicely it looks like they could be passed as factory. (So try asking someone if they remember the race truck series these are modeled after LOL). Lines look seamless.

Nice work, will look forward to race livery!

Mack has got my vote so far!!! Looks like a natural supertruck!!! RM

Who makes the Kenworth and the Mack?

Your link wouldn't get me there but this one did.:thumbsup:

Thanks.

Nice DD!! Exactly how I imagined it would be! Man that is a sweet looking setup! I wouldn't mind owning one of those - let us know if you plan to make several for sale. VERY awesome work!

PD2:thumbsup:

PD2:thumbsup:Bad news PD. I'm sorta selfish about my trucks. But there's always truck cabs to be found and race car bodies abound. With a little imagination, a few days of diligent work and a lot of patience....

Show me what ya got. ;)

Totally understand. You guys are talented beyond your years and we appreciate you sharing with us what you have created. Really awesome stuff!

Unfortunately I have yet to enter into this world - let's face it, my pinky finger might have the talent to draw a straight line, let alone create anything you guys are doing. So they only thing I have to show would be other's creations.

Keep up the awesome work! Can't wait to see this rig finished!

PD2:thumbsup:

Lines look seamless

Nice grafts double D. Looking great :thumbsup:. nd

they look great!its funny however to see the boxy cabs mixed with all that aerodynamic bodywork!i still think they look great though!very seamless body work.they are gonna look great painted and decaled!

Great concepts and execution DD.

Yer the morph-meister!

PD2:thumbsup:We all started somewhere. And we learn from our mistakes. Hell, I have a whole box full of learning experiences. You think my first truck came out like these? Not by a long shot. It got rebuilt four times before I got it looking halfway decent.

I'll give you a good start. I've been wanting to do an AFX Peterbuilt cab grafted onto a Lola T-260. Never got around to it and may not. So, find a Lola T-260 that's beat up and missing parts, and a Peterbuilt cab in like condition, (rule #1 never cut up good bodies for a custom) look 'em over together and see how everything fits. Look at the shape of that trucks front fenders and how similar it is to the Lola's turned down nose.

Now set the cab on top of the lola and line up the fenders with the front wheel wells of the lola. Get everything centered and tape it in place. Get a sharpie fine point at put a dot at all four corners of the cab and at the corners of the hood. Take the cab off and connect the dots. This is the baseline for your cut. Stay well within the lines when you cut and use a file and/or sand things down to the final fit checking frequently by putting the cab back in place. The object is to get the cab to sit into the lola without any gaps.

Remeber the biggest keys are patience and perserverance. Don't rush it, these usually take me at least a week to finish. Just keep at it. It may not come out right the first time. That's why Squadron makes filler putty.;)

When you do get it right and it's finally finished, there is no greater feeling in the world than knowing you DID that. It's a feeling you just can't get by buying someone elses work.

Don't be afraid, just jump in and do it. And if you get stuck and don't know what to do, Hey, we're as close as your computer and more than willing to help. :thumbsup:

Wow! Thanks DD. That really is great and encouraging! I really appreciate the kind words and guidance. I may tackle something like this one day - I guess, for me, I have too many other personal and work projects going on to even begin to add another thing to the plate. It does look like a rewarding part of this hobby we like. I just can't imagine me jumping into this part just yet. BUT, you have encouraged me to at least put it on the list for the future when an opening comes available.

Thanks and from us non-customizers, we appreciate you guys being real and showing us both your successes and failed attempts. Don't ever be affraid to show us the mistakes and what you learned - I'm sure it will help us learn too.

Thanks again DD!
PD2:thumbsup:

Thanks DD for another really nifty custom that I can shamelessly imitate. The only creativity I have is building bizarre tracks.

After two repaints on the Mack Jaggy I had to call this one close enough. So without further ado, here they are, ready to race.
