showbuilder Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) this is my new project for the 2010 show season. hope to debut it at the old dominion show in richmond. 144" condo, scratch built headache rack, lift axle, real aluminum wheels and a bunch more modifications. colors will be sunset mist, titan silver, gunmetal and metallic grey. this will be pulling a scratch built 48ft drop deck trailer. trailer will not be done in time for richmond though. here are a few progress pics.

Jim B Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Should be pretty cool when it's done. Can't say as I've ever seen a LTL9000 with a condo sleeper, but there's a first ime for everything!

Ben Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 All I can see are boxes saying the images were deleted?
showbuilder Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 All I can see are boxes saying the images were deleted? sorry about that ben, i have been cleaning up my pictures in photobucket. they are back up now.
mercer01 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 In the eighties there was a guy, (Dan Campbell I think) had a 9000 with a 120 in. double eagle on Bekins. It was featured in American Trucker. Look it up if you can, it was quite a truck. Seems to me he won the use of the truck for a year if I remember correctly.
Wmija Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Yes, nice details . . . those tanks are amazing. Please keep posting pics, can't wait to see this one progress Best Regards, Wayne
showbuilder Posted January 22, 2010 Author Posted January 22, 2010 (edited) well guys......the ford has been in the spray booth for a little bit. here is the metallic grey and sunset mist on the cab and hood. this is before the graphics and clear coat. the sleeper is being untaped now. will post pics again when graphics go on. also done a little interior work, billet column and wheel, flocked floor and a few other photoetched details. long way to go yet...........

Jim B Posted January 22, 2010 Posted January 22, 2010 Sounds inpressive. What happened to the pictures?

mackinac359 Posted January 23, 2010 Posted January 23, 2010 Looks like a wild paint scheme in the works! Tim
showbuilder Posted February 1, 2010 Author Posted February 1, 2010 here is the new paint scheme for the ford. clear was just sprayed today and has not been wet sanded and buffed as of yet. frame color was changed also. will post more pics when wet sanding and buffing is done.
Kostas Parchas Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Cool rig!!! I like your truck so far, nice colors, huge sleeper! Do you have detail photos of making the fuel tanks? Keep the good work coming! Kostas.
showbuilder Posted February 17, 2010 Author Posted February 17, 2010 update on the ford here is the current status
modeltruckmafia Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Great job update on the ford here is the current status
SpreadAxle Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I like the paintwork. The headache rack is really cool.
Janne Herajärvi Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 Very cool details there and nice color combo
Old Albion Posted February 20, 2010 Posted February 20, 2010 I like the paint work! Great colour scheme. You don't realise how big this truck is until you spend some time studying the photo's. The sleeper is huge!! One question did Ford make an extended hood version? Just curiosity! Great Work Dave
