Those of you who wanted to order Monkey Claw's truck kits may have heard that Matt isn't casting trucks anymore . Well here is the good news. Brad Lawson of BRL truck shop is now casting Matt's truck kits, :-*and here is the link: www.brlmodeltruckshop.com/Products.htmlNot everything is ready, but he has added some new things to the product line. I think you will like it! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks for the post kwflatbed! I just discovered this site not long ago and it's awesome. I'll be casting many of Matt's old stuff, as well as some new stuff. I would like to get some feedback from y'all about what you would like to see. I have a list of items that is "coming soon" on the site. Also, I was talking to Matt about doing a KW extended day cab. What do you think? BRL

I love what you have so far. An updated K100 cab with the square headlights would be cool 4 the future. Oh, and I emailed you about this b4, but your Western Star dump is sweet! Had 2 say it again.

How about some modern Mack over the road conventionals with the integrated sleepers, Freigtliner Fl60-80 and M2, International 4000 series, Pete 330, KW T300, Sterling Acterra and L Line conversions. Some med duty engines like the Cat 3116 and such. Maybe a KW T2000, 387 Pete, single square headlight conversions for the Pete, etc. Just some ideas.

I concur with flatbedkw, a KW 8-bag air suspension setup would be nice. The modern KW battery boxes you have are nice looking, so with them, a Cat C-16 (or Cummins ISX), the modern hood & cab, & the 8-bag suspension, one could have a pretty decent "modern" KW.

I'm open to about anything the aftermarket puts out but please if you make a conventional truck at least have the cab and hood seperate. I have passed up buying alot of great trucks because the hood and cab are cast as one piece. Seperate doors would also be nice. I also second air lift and air ride axle set ups for truck and trailer, the only ones out there they want too much for them. I cant see putting another 50 bucks into a trailer after paying 50 for it to start with just for putting an air suspension under it.
