thanks it is rustoleum regal red.as far as the sleeper i did it because i couldnt get to the glue seams to sand them so i did away with it all.

ok i couldnt wait so i did some work on this. i shaved everything off the sleeper(smooth) and filled the grooves in. and then i painted it 2 coats red(no clear yet

thanks now ive got to build a display case for it

thanks matt.realism is the name of the game correct(or as close to it as we can) .i was going to put this thing on my drop center flat bed but i got the dog especially for the tow truck.i thought of another idea for the flat bed if i can find some reference photos. by the way ill have it there next week if you pay fuel bill lol

ok she is all done.i got my junker all chained up and ready to go to the scrap yard i made a portable light bar and this is the decal i made

that would be great cause i have a tanker on the way that would look good behind it thanks

i hope they arent too dog gone expensive.

looks to be highly detailed.cant wait to get started on it.

there was a tri-axle gravel trailer. here is one on e-bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220626298675&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

i went to hobby lobby and found it on clearance reg price $75 got it for $45.im so happy.this is my first italeri model.

thanks now to find one at a reasonable price.

where did you get the volvo truck? ive been looking for one.

i see what you are saying but if i do that it will be too close to the truck frame and too close to the tires on the trailer.ive got a plan and ill try it out later but thanks for the help.

ok i found the kingpin and all i have to do is put some wheels on it.they should be in end of next week and then ill post some more pics.

wow man you got some skills.that car looks great

you better get this before its gone http://cgi.ebay.com/International-1466-Tractor-Blueprint-Model-Kit-1-25-l-/110547636143?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19bd270faf

cant wait to see it done. where did you find the plastic diamond plate?

will the brake fluid ruin your bondo work? im going to be doing a repair job and have never used brake fluid to strip paint.how long do i need to soak it?what do you clean the fluid off with?

in my years of driving only had the air go out twice.one in a cab over(try to sleep) in louisana late spring.second in a fld in amarillo mid summer had to drive 3 hrs to get there and then spend 2 days in a motel.

also ran into another problem.after searching the trees,box,floor,and trash can i dont see the king pin so ill have to find a replacement.

it does bow real bad with the tank on it,so im going to take a piece of plastis square tubing paint it black(to hide it)and glue it to the center of the underside to support the tank and keep the bow down.

man those are awesome.

i still have my cdl but just as a back up plan

thanks ive had mycdl for 14 yrs and though ive never pulled flat bed ive seen a couple lol i made that box to hold all of the chains and straps (when not in use).

aint that the truth
