Titan 110" Cut and glued 2 cabs make to a double bunk.  Cut and glued two V8's into a 12V71.Might build a custom twin turbo set up.  Made flotation tires for the front by splicing two tires together and using a wider rim.  Also have scratch built duel air cleaners for behind the cab. I glued the stacks too far behind the cab.Thinking of putting the intake pipes in between them and cab to fill in gap? Should the wheelbase be longer? Maybe a tri drive? Let me know what you think.

I agree with you doc but she'll be a stunner when she's done.

I like the ideas and concepts for this truck. You don't see many cabovers modified this extensively, let alone an old Titan 90 kit. This will be an interesting rig to follow along with, that's for sure.

Got the mock-up of the induction system done. Twin turbo,cummins parts Twin breathers with scratch built housings and "inside"or "warm"air ducting. The driver can select air from under the cab into the breathers when the weather is nasty. Still got a lot to do on the buzzin dozen Here's the pics-       More soon KEVIN |

I did a little more today.Re thought the wheelbase,it was gonna be real short like a pull truck, and stretched it out to about a 280".I cut the arms off the second rear suspension and spliced them on to the other for a Canadian 72" spread.Trying to figure out a lift axle to fill in the frame.This thing is gonna be BIG.Pics soon.

Hey Kevin,
This is so damn cool! I love the twin turbos and the way you have routed the exhaust and air cleaners. I also love the double wide sleeper as well as the longer frame and lift axle. So I guess you could say there really isn't anything about it I don't like!!!
Looking forward to seeing more of your very innovative work!
Paulie
