tbill Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 building a matched set, lots of orange on this one. I have added wood to the trailer floor and walls [still in process on that] other than that, it's gonna be OOB for both truck and trailer. here are some wip pic's, still a lot to do, but getting there......

tbill Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 JT, I knew you were going to love the color, lol Henry, I used the wood flooring on my last trailer and liked it, so this time I thought i'd try doing the walls as well, it worked out well I think.

tbill Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 a little more progress, cab is now cleared and buffed out, turned out pretty good I think. going to keep plugging away on the frame and have to decide what color for the interior and the motor.

tbill Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 thanks for all the positive comments so far, much appreciated. have made some more progress, trailer is about done...all the lights etc.are on it. put it in the display case for now to keep the dust off of it, when the truck is done, i'll finish up the inside of the trailer. here is where the truck itself is at as of this morning, exhaust parts and stack supports are drying now, should be close to wrapping it up by weeks end I think. thanks for looking.

BigBad Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 An absolutely box-stock build (except for the wooden flooring and walls...) Those are fun to do! Your rig is really looking good, very nice job duplicating the box covers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit1 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Nice job... (The k123 is on my wishlist) I would do a few things just a tad different. 1. those ribs down the side of the trailer i would paint silver 2. sand down the treads on the tires 3. probably throw down an extra coat of clear instead ... edit: what did you use for the wood flooring if you dont mind me asking?... not sure if i missed it or what ?
