This is a build I've been planning for some time now and I've been on a car hauler building run and have one more to add. im starting with the old AMT Li'L Gasser and a roll back deck from a guy on eBay. Here's a mock up of what I'm planning. It will have a HEMI and be painted with HEMI Orange. I have not decided on what will be on the deck yet.

Thanks Mark, I've picked up both roll back sizes that is offered and both are well built and have lots of detailed parts with them like chains, cable and the winch.

Mike thanks I'm always open to sugesstions and comments on my WIP builds.

I finished my 39 Dodge custom hauler and now have this one on the bench to start making some progress. Not to much so far I've glued the cab sections together and working on cleaning up the glue joints. (It comes in 5 pieces ) still test fitting and working on ideas to add to it. I'm looking at turning the exhaust in to stacks going up right before the bed. I received the tool boxes this is where I'm looking at putting them at.

Small update this weekend worked no attaching the bed to the frame and also cut the frame. Started assembling the Hemi to check the fit. Looks like it will go in the frame with the headers from the Dart. I plan to have the exhaust run under the cab section and then turn to the out side and up in to stacks.

Spent some time this morning working on this but not much progress I was not satisfied with how I connected the bed to the frame to tilt so I removed the old one and built new connectors now it sits flat on the frame. Also prime red the Hemi.

A little more progress today I added the new frame rails and painted the engine. Also added some body putty to the seams on the cab. I'm out of gray primer and my Hobby Lobby was also out so next week I will be able to finish priming the cab.
