Jim Groeneweg built this Kenworth Bullnose truck tractor using a Don Mills 1952 Kenworth Bullnose resin kit that is riding on an Athearn frame and Athearn dashboard, air horns, wipers, turn signals and modified spotlight, Walker fuel tanks, Kibri deckplate and scratchbuilt sunvisor, mirrors, stacks, windows and mudflap/tailight bracket. Paint is '67 Ford Acupulco blue metallic with Hertz gold and a custom light blue metallic basec/clear BASF R-M auto paint. The trailer started life out as an Italeri 48 foot reefer. Jim shortened tit o 35' with scratchbuilt nose, side rails and rear bumper, A-Line fuel tank, Athearn wheels and landing gear along with a reefer unit from a Yatming trailer and suspension from Classic Metal Works. It is finished in Alclad II chrome to represent stainless steel and painted Testors silver on the undercarriage and Humbrol flat silver on the roof. It resembles a Brown brand trailer of similar vintage. Previously featured in Photo Gallery 442.
