Jim Groeneweg built this sharp looking combination using an Edocar die-cast Kenworth W900L truck tractor. Basically the truck sits on the original frame modified by "trimming" off the outer rail giving the correct chassis width and exposing the details! The Kenworth eight bag air ride suspension was added as well as the fifth wheel carrier. Fuel tanks are Jacobs Model resin tanks (with steps removed) with Dennis Aust rear wheels and A-Line fronts, curved exhaust tips out of aluminum, side extender rubbers added as well as the running lights on the cab/bunk skirting and a bug deflector form clear styrene tinted blue! The top of the hood and sleeper were "rounded" by filing to get rid of the "square" look, turn signals added to the fenders, air breather intake elbows were also shortened. Paint is 2005 Honda/Acura blue pearl base/clear. Trailer is Walthers 48' TIP Rental.
