Mopar - D Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks guys, I've been able to reach a completion stage for the Modelmeana show with the cab. Will start working on the trailer again now that the cab is done. I still need to add some decals on the doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This is a build that I've been planning for many years after I found pictures of this rig. The story behind the rig is that Chrysler sponsored the Spurrlow singing group in the late 60's. They went around the country preforming at schools. I'm starting with an resin Dodge LS 1000 cab from AITM, AMT White-Frightliner SD and Bill Elliott stock car transporter. The trailer still has some hurdles for me I would like to change out the the wheels to the smaller size and I'm not sure how I'm going to paint or decal the trailer to match. I'm open for any ideas anyone may have. So far I've started on the frame. Reference pictures of what I'm building Hey Dan, I mastered those exact same wheels on that trailer and Jamie Rahmoeller casts them. You can contact him thru his website www.moluminum.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Ben thanks and I have already received them from Jamie. They are perfect ? great work. I've checked back on the site and they are not listed any more? He needs to check it out as I know there are some guys looking for some.

72 Charger Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 (edited) Dan where will your Chrysler decals be coming from ? I could really do with a set. Fantastic work on the rig BTW Edited April 27, 2017 by 72 Charger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 Currently I'm planning to make them and print them on decal paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 I made it back home after 2 weeks away from building and had to get some time building before I go to the Modelmeana show today. So checking out the trailer today I decided that the wheel block out needed to be made smaller so I've cut them down. Mock up with the smaller block out.
