Mopar - D

David I’m looking to have the ramps drop down to the bottom deck. I’m still in my conceptual stage to see how the 4 cars fit. Still have a lot of details to work out lol.

Thanks Bob, I know what talking about I’ve run across that with my other haulers. By the time I’m done it’s very well supported. Thanks Lee Thanks Dave , I’m going to do what I can to make it right. Here’s a ruff mock up of where I’m going with this.

I’ve started on the trailer by adding 40” on the front of the trailer and removing the slanted section in the front lower part. This is going to allow me to get 4 cars on the bottom of the trailer.

Thanks Dave for your comment I’m no expert on them I just enjoy building them the best way I can.

Thanks guys here’s some of the rigs I’m looking at.

In my collection of car transporters I have a 5 car hauler with 62’s, 2 - 6 car haulers with 67’s &69’s, 7 car hauler with 70’s, future 8 car hauler with 71’s, 9 car hauler with 68’s and of course they are all Mopar cars. Because I didn’t have a 8 car transporter or a load of 71’s I’ve decided it time to make one. I’m going with the Mack R685ST for my cab and will be using the Revell transporter to start with. I’m still checking transporter designs to determine what modifications will be needed. It looks like at least one car will be on the cab with the remaining 7 on the trailer. I’m looking at making it a Convoy Company truck in green. I’ve seen pictures of them with 71 Mopar’s. As always your comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Nice progress Dave. I’m starting my 8 car transporter now.

Excellent build Ken.

Thanks Larry Thanks David Thanks Bob Thanks Chris Thanks Mario Thanks Jeff Thanks Carl

Thanks Eric Thanks Larry Thanks Tom Thanks Mike Thanks Mario Thanks Jeff Thanks Ken Thanks Carl Thanks Nicholas

Thanks John Thanks Eric Thanks Larry Thanks Carl

Thanks Gregory Thanks David Thanks Jim Thanks John

Thanks Mike Thanks Jack Thanks Jim Thanks David, I think maybe the Revell 70 Cuda kit they were in my parts box Thanks Richard, I was trying to cut down some of the chrome and tie in the gold trim to bring out the gold in the paint.

This is the Testors 71 Cuda kit that’s actually a Barracuda body so I made it a Barracuda with a 318 ci motor and spilt bench seat. This would have been a customer ordered car with the different hood and the E7 Burgundy paint were not offered on the Barracuda trim model.

This is the AMT Charger R/T with Scale Finish’s Dodge Q7 Turquoise and black and white interior. This is a customer special order 999 code seeing this color was not for Chargers in 71.

This is the Moebius 64 Nova Resto Mod kit with Scale Finishes Dodge E7 Burgundy and MCW bright red interior.

Nice looking yellow Charger.

Thanks Ken, I’m calling this one finished now and will be posting it under glass tomorrow with outside pictures.

Very sharp looking Ken.

Nice selection so far just 3 more to fill it up lol. For a story on this load of cars you can say that it’s either arriving or leaving one of the big auction houses and make the truck a specialized for these types of deliveries.

Thanks Carl

Dave have you selected your load for the transporter?

Thanks Sonny Thanks Bob, the gold trim does not show up very much in the pictures taken inside maybe when I get some outside pictures it will show up better.

Coming along nicely Dave. Thanks for your comments on my transporters.

I’m getting close to having this one finished. I’ve got some PE to add and the rest of the chrome trim items.
