Tesla Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Dennis nice. Start on your trailer it's going to make for a nice set up with the KW and Dozer. Thanks Dan. The snow has finally melted enough so I can set up my spray booth to vent outside. Now I can get cranking on getting parts primed for the fist time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Awesome Dennis, This trio is going to be a one of a kind display. What are you going to have there about 3 lbs of resin tires and wheels ? Better build that shelf stout so it does not sag !

Tesla Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Thank you Sean and JT! I keep all my builds on foam board...makes it easy to move them around and once a month they get dusted off. At least a double layer for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpeterbilt Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Dennis, Im assuming you have a detailed drawing of the axle set up on this beast? Ive always wanted to build a Rogers Beam trailer with the wheels inside and outside the frame(whats that even called?) like this one.

Ive always wanted to build a Rogers Beam trailer with the wheels inside and outside the frame(whats that even called?) like this one. I have no drawing or pics for the axles. What I have in mind is a very basic setup. I'll post pics of it later this week. Edited March 16, 2015 by Tesla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
