Brian, thank you for following. I'm sure the trailer does deflect when loaded but I don't think it's by very much. So far I've only had it loaded with the one car as you see in the photo and there was no noticeable deflection that I could detect. @Mopar - D has built more of these trailers than anyone else I know, maybe they would have a better answer than I do. Thanks for your question Brian, I'll keep it in mind and do a load test when I get the upper decks installed. David G.

Thank you Len. Time, our most precious resource. It's the one thing that we never seem to have enough of and can never get any more of. David G.

Thank you Dan. Oh, there's no way it would accommodate all my cars. In fact I'm having a little trouble trying to decide which ones I want to load it with. I'm thinking of using some of the "B" and "C" level builds and leaving the "A" level builds in the display case. This photo is from almost a year ago, there are even more now. Thanks again, David G.

Thanks Greg. Yeah... I'm still working out a place to display it. This thing is flippin' huge, almost 24" long and more than 29" with the loading ramps in place. =D-

Thank you Germán. =D-

Lots of good things going on here. I really like the improvements you're making. David G.

A super clean build Greg. "Sano" as we used to say back in the Eighties! David G.

Hello Everybody! I decided to have some fun mocking up my current builds while I waited a few days for the paint to cure. I used the Cord to load-test the Auto Transport Trailer I'm currently working on. Here's everything I'm currently working on mocked up for display. The Peterbilt 359 and Transport Trailer will be paired as a set but the Cord will have its own spot in the display case. Yeah, I know... sooooo much blue! As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to share any thoughts or comments you may have. David G.

Thank you Ken. =D-

Hello Everybody! Here's the next update for the Revell Auto Transport Trailer. Though the wheels cleaned up well enough, I've decided to use the kit wheels and save these for a future project. I got the detail painting done on the side frames and mounted them permanently to the deck. I also did a mockup for every project that I currently have on the bench. The Auto Transport Trailer will be paired with the Peterbilt 359 but the Cord will have its own place in the display case. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post any comments or questions, critiques or suggestions. David G.

Good choice on both accounts. David G.

What a bummer! It looks like your best option would be to find another option. If you choose to go with filling and sculpting, I've had some success using CA and baking soda as a filler. It cures instantly and it's a little harder than styrene when it comes to working it. It should work with resin. David G.

Wow! I don't believe I've ever seen one of these in full race kit! 😮 Fabulous work so far. I thought I was fancy just getting the Roadrunner decals for my Superbird. Cheers! David G.

Good to know, thanks Dave. And thanks for all your hard work keeping this circus working. =D-

Thank you Carl. =D-

Dang! What a bummer. It's like I say in my sig line... Model builders, we're problem solvers who create our own problems to solve! I hope you can find a satisfactory to this. David G.

Thank you Bob. =D-

What a cool idea Carl! The Cord body style is both timeless and immediately recognizable. Not to mention way ahead of its time. It's a great platform for limitless customization and updating options. I'll be following this with much interest. David G.

Thanks Len. Thank you Carl. I'll have a look for that, I'd love to see it. David G.

They look good so far, best of luck! David G.

Hello Everybody! Just to let you all know, I haven't forgotten about the Cord. Here's proof! Another round of color sanding and panel scribing. Another coat of paint. It still has some of the bits and bumps from the previous coats and/or some new ones but I think this is the one I'll polish. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thanks Randy, it's good to be here. I like to expand my horizons when I can. I tend to think of myself as a model builder who builds model cars, mostly. =D-

Nice work on the parking light bezels. The car looks great overall. David G.

The engine looks great In situ with the mockup. Wicked! I especially like the cut you made for the plate. Sometimes it's the little things that can make a big difference. Overall... very cool! David G.

That looks good Dan but how does the one on the front get loaded? David G.
