Sweet....Thanks for the heads up.....Can't wait to see what you do with it.....I'm having a blast with this thing.....Just got 2 more in.....

Thanks, Bud......I got mine from 3000toys.com.....They have some seriously awesome stuff.....You gotta check 'em out......

Thanks, Buddy....Naaa....This one is a total curbside.....Although, I plan on using an old Italeri chassis as a donor, someday.....Tim is "The Man" when it comes to this conversion.....I'm always checking his fotki page.....

Got the second trailer done......Gonna get onto the lift gates, sometime this week....They have only subtle differences.....Mostly at the bases of the trailers....

Very impressive.....They look quite good....

You've got a good start.....I've done this before, but I didn't attempt to lower the deck.....I used 2 kits to make a 53'er and just added length by cutting and splicing sections.....Your plan WILL work....You shouldn't need much plastic as, if I'm not mistaken, this trailer scales out to 45', anyway......I like this idea....Never thought about lowering the deck....

Good job, Man.....Great work on the bed.....

Helmut.....This baby is 1/24 scale and is made by New Ray....In China, too....I get mine from 3000toys.com for about $50, but you should be able to find it over there,,,,Maybe for cheaper, even.....But No, it doesn't come in the fabulous color of orange .....Just blue or black.....

Thanks, Boys.....I've been having a little too much fun doing these things.....I appreciate all the interest and kind sentiments....

Now, that's pretty darned cool looking.....Excellent work....The paint job is superb.....

I'm gonna add some decals to the truck, later.....Just as soon as I can figure out "what".....

Well, Guys....I got another 579 from New Ray reworked, and I made a fleet version.....I'm really liking this offering....So many possibilities.....I took a Moebius 53'er and set it on the back, and this is how it came out.....

Hmmm....Curious.....That's an interesting look....Must be a northern weather type thing......Can't say I see that much, here....Mostly just rust and lots of dents and such.....However, it looks cool, though..... And you've sparked my interest with your color choice for this rig, as well..... Excellent choice....Everything looks good in orange.....

Wow...That looks cool....Excellent subject....I think I need to snag one of these....

These have always intrigued me.....Can't wait to see how this unfolds.....

Looking good, Man....What a nice array of resin, here....Too cool....

Looking pretty awesome, so far......Great job on that bumper, and the engine looks amazing....

This thing looks absolutely amazing......You've done an awesome job on this, Bud.....It looks like the sleeper will be "simple" compared to all you've done, so far.....I like this so much, I'm willing to part with some flat .060 sheet styrene to contribute to the build, if you're interested.....I've got enough to last me for years to come.....I could cut some up and hook you up if you don't find anything at the dollar store.....Just PM me.....I just want to see this baby come to life......

Oh yeah....I gotcha....Yep....I'd go grab 'em, too.....

Man, that looks really good....I don't think I've ever even seen one of these things....Cool.....I'll be watching this one....

Oh yeah.....Love these kind of rebuilds.....Can't wait to see how this one goes.....I've been wanting to snag one of these things......Haven't been able to pull the trigger, yet.....I'll be watching this one....

Outstanding.....A chip off the old block, eh..... Great job on the truck, Little Guy....Hope to see more of your work, soon..... Maybe Dad'll spring for a trailer......

LOL !!!!!! I heard that !!!! I guess somebody put a bug in your ear about this one, huh..... Glad you went and got it back, Man.....Can't wait to see your "new" mods on it......

Thanks, Guys.....I'm glad y'all like it....These kinds of things are just too much fun....I highly recommend doing something like this to get out of a slump, for sure.....No real expectations at all, as it's just for the shelf.....Only to see how much better you can make it look.....And something I don't already have......Only took about a week and a half to get it to this point.....ALL of it fun work..... I'm with you, Chuck....The trailer was what sealed the deal....I figured if the truck wasn't very good, I'd at least have the trailer to mess with.....Turns out, the whole thing is worth the money, for sure......

Should come out nice....I do like this trailer....Makes anything look good.....Great start....
