Jim Groeneweg built this Western Star 5700xe truck tractor using a Dwayne Currie resin cab casting mounted on a modified Promotex builder chassis with various details added from different sources; Athearn Alcoa rims/tires, flush mounted windshield made from a blister pack, modified interior from Tonkin, and it has the Phantom 2 factory custom paint scheme applied in a silver grey/charcoal metallic with clear coat. The trailer is a modified Tonkin bark mulch live floor trailer with upgraded the suspension from Promotex, A-Line wheels, and an Atlas Pines landing gear. For a complete build process, have a look at Hank’s Forum.
