KW T6 with 180 inch sleeper.

[towguy76]

In the process of building a KW T6 with a big sleeper. Truck will be yellow. will have a stretched frame, real aluminum wheels from KFS, stainless exhaust, stainless front bumper, tinted windows, rear airride susupension from a KW coe kit, 180 inch sleeper with full skirts from Cliff, a ton of the round peel and stick lights from Dans Model Truck World, and a few other things.
After truck is completed i will make a 53 ft moving van trailer to go with it. Havent decided if to use the Revell F350 dually wheels on the trailer or go with a Featherlight style build with more of the aluminum wheels from KFS.

Here is what i have so far.











And a rough quick sketch of what i am thinking of.

Looks like that's going to be pretty impressive. Where are you getting the skirts from?

the skirts under the cab will be the front portion of the ones in the Canepa T6 kit. The ones under the sleeper will be part of the sleeper.

Krylon Bright Idea from Walmart. I sprayed it over Duplicolor flat white sandable primer, then covered with Duplicolor Truck, Van, & Suv Clear Top Coat.

Here is a pic of the yellow.

The red primer and matte clear sprays in the pic are what i used for my GMC Astro Ryder CBP.

Here are a couple of wip pics of the sleeper Cliff is making for me. It is mocked up behind Cliff's T6 cab. It is a 180 inch, with skirts.
