Display trailer
landman replied to landman's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks guys. Next is to figure out a roll-in roll-out dolly that fits on a fork lift, gets deposited at the rear of the trailer and pushed in by hand. -
Never even thought of that.As far as the plug wires go, iused a 3D printed distributor with a hollow in the center. I bunched the wires and glued them in there then I threaded them though the two little tubes. I use clear .5mm rubber cord and paint them. Glad you like it.

I thought about epoxy. I glued an aluminum rod in the inner outside curve of the roof to see if it will hold it straight. we'll see. -
Glad you like it.

When I attempted to glue the end hinges one came off the roof, the corner of the box came apart so I retired the project for the time being until the urge to fling it against the wall passes. -

The hinges displace the panel downwards so I had to trim the edge. Now the lines won't match. I had to use the heavy equipment to clamp the hinges to the side panel. -
That is something the 3D printers should do, at least the intakes.

I saw one on the internet in a newer Chrysler. Kit was $179.00. I don’t think so. Will keep looking.

The trailer itself is done save for the fenders which need another coat of paint. Glued the panel hinges ro the roof. The white bar is to keep the roof straight while the glue dries. It has a bow to it. Clear plastic isn't malleable like styrene so I did not dare bend it backwards. -
Thanks Carl. It is from the AMT Shelby Charger kit.

This will be a trailer to display engines at car shows. I will use AMT's display case trailer and go from there. It will have a flip up side and likely a platform along the side for people to stand on to view the engines on display.
