Mopar - D Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I’m building Richard Petty’s race car truck and trailer with the 73 Charger. I have a WIP for the truck and trailer so far and now I’m starting on the Charger. Here’s the link to my truck and trailer build. This is my first NASCAR build and first Salvinos JR kit. I’ve started painting all the parts based on what the instructions show. So here’s what I have done so far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamboat Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Way cool! I've always wanted to do the race car hauler, but the LN 1000 cab is so hard to find. I'll be watching this one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thanks Bill , I get my Dodge LS1000’s cabs from AITM https://aitruckmodels.com/product/dodge-ls-1000/ over the years I’ve built 5 of them 1 day cab and 4 sleepers. I prefer the Frightliner COE as my donor for the frame and engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Little more progress on the sub assemblies and finished the engine. I’ve also got the body ready for more paint when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
