KENWORTH W900L "NIGHT STALKER"










Melbourne's Klos brothers , Justin and Turk of "Klos Kustom Trucks" know the value of a limited edition truck, their Kenworth '007 edition W900L is not only one of the country's coolest custom trucks, it is also one of just a handful of this model built to commemorate the James Bond film " Licence to Kill" which featured a similar looking rig in its action sequenses.

Much of the way that Justin and Turk build trucks for themselves and their customers at their workshop reflects an old - school style and nothing symbolises old- school trucking in Australia more than the Kenworth SAR variant. (short Australian right- hand drive )

They sent us a new aftermarket steering wheel to pearl in custom blue, giving it the perfect touch for the era of this truck.

1956 2 DOOR CHEVY 2-10
















Des from Adelaide S.A enlisted the help of top craftsmen in their field to rebuild his previously blue & white 1956 Chevy.
Fitted with an under dash wiper motor, running on straight LPG there was no need for a fuel tank.




Final paint had a base orange with gold metal flake,looks awesome when the sun hits it.

We pearl plasticised the Holden Monaro steering wheel in dual colours to suit.

Des arranged the nifty centre Chevy engraved logo.
Our sincere thanks to "Cruzin" magazine for the use of these photos.

1928 Studebaker Director Royal Sedan--steering wheel






























Just completed this derilect wheel.



The original dome screws had seized in the corroded wheel, requiring drilling out while avoiding damage to the alloy hub.
Keeping true to the era of the steering wheel, we handmade replacement domed and slotted screws that secure the hub to the wheel.

The black plasticised finish was in a semi gloss.
This wheel will soon be on its way home and we eagerly await some photos of the '28 Studebaker with its wheel in situ.
