Thank you Dan ! Be Well Gator

Thank you ! It didn't take much to convince me to go with the real wood ! Be Well Gator

I built this kit many years ago . And I survived several moves in the last 8 yrs . I pulled this ERTL metal chassis Volvo out of a storage bin . It was a bit worse for wear. Having suffered a broken front axle . I repaired the front axle, put the mirrors and other bits back on . The lowboy is a modified AMT lowboy . It has a real wood deck .

Just redid the back of this KW . removed the AMT Box body . Built a flat bed out of an AMT flat bed kit. Be Well Gator

Got some more work done on this project. Went with a real wood load deck , and a diamond plate goose neck deck . Still need things like tie down loops and marker lights and some weathering . Be Well Gator

Spot on replica ! Well done ! Be Well Gator

Jacobus , Looking forward to seeing your in pogress photos ! As for the Corona Virus thing slowing down package delivery. I heard from a friend. That the Us Post Office is not even accepting parcels for the Philippines. But that may change this month. And when I order stuff it takes a couple of months to get to me . You guys are lucky to get thing so quickly ! Be Well Gator

Pat, Nice work on the dash . It looks good . Be Well Gator

Cool build ! Like you I have trouble remembering where I got some parts. But I don't let it get me down. I also have a cut down Pete cab ina plastic bin somewhere in the hobby room. Be Well Gator

Like that truck mainly for the pit type fenders . I like your weathering . Be Well Gator

Thanks guys for your comments . Things have slowed on this project. trying to get enough tires the same size . I still need to make tie down loops . I have painted the plastic wood grained decking. But I may go with real wood ??? Not really trying to do anything spectacular. Just to build a decent looking trailer for some heavy iron. Also have many other trailer projects in progress . Just rehabbed an ERTL GD extendable trailer . Just need a couple of bits to call it done . Also have a stretched gravel trailer in the paint shop . WIll be taking some photos when I get some of these projects finished . Be Well Gator

Thank you for sharing that info . Much appreciated ! Be Well Gator

Wow , lots of progress since I last checked on this thread. Looking real good from here ! Be Well Gator

Very nice work on the cab modifications ! be Well Gator

looking good ! Be Well Gator

Charles , this is an interesting project ! Where did you source the drive chain and sprokets ? I could use some like that> Be Well Gator

How long is that vessel ? Going to make a great looking load ! Be Well Gator

About a month ago . ipulled out one of the old AMT lowboy kits. The box actually had two kits in it . So wanting to do something a bit different. I decided to modify this one a bit. I stretched the goose neck about a half inch . Then cut the rear of the load deck off at the angle . And then added about 3/1/2 inches . The rear was built per kit instructions. Some photos of the beginning of the build Be Well Gator

Dan, I like what you are doing here. If I read your post correctly. You are using some of the old KFS low loader stuff along with the newer version . Am I correct on that ? I have two complete sets of the original low loader . Those modules require a bit of work to clean up and fit properly. But worth the effort. Yours are looking good ! Be Well Gator

Pat , Looks like you have a good start on this project ! Be Well Gator

Lovin this one. Like JT I like your choice of colors. looks good ! Be Well Gator
