kilrathy10 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Finally got something else going.....I can't believe it's taken me this long to come up with something else to build....Been working a lot, but even when I wasn't, the inspiration bug would not bite....Well.....It bit the other day.....Started this car hauler reissue.....Somehow, I think I can convert this into a 7 car hauler, but not this time....I'm going to build this one box stock, for the most part, but with a few custom features you'll see later.....And that's right, Boys....It WILL be orange, too.....Dropped the paint on it just about an hour ago.....Anyways....Here's what I got so far......

Petetrucker07 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Well its about time. I guess we are too much alike. We both got some motivation about the same time. This is gonna be good. I'm sure you'll be makin some of your diamond plate tool boxes and some other things. Can't wait to see more AND what you decide to put under it truck wisr.

Mike77 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Lookin' good JT! That's one trailer I've never built. Seeing your build I think I'll have to add it to my to-do list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Thanks, Boys....It's good to be back....I don't know what cars I'll be sticking on the back, but I do know it will get a Lonestar up front.....I'll be working to get that started very soon....Also a set of Moebius wheels and tires will adorn the suspension.....Other than that, a few more custom touches and this will be done....This is what I have done thus far.....

Old Buckaroo Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hey Jt , looking real good. Does the Lonestar not come with the wheels and tires as in the BIg Rig wheel and tire set ?

Mopar - D Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 JT, it must of been a season I'm in the same position as you and now getting back into building again. There is a lot you can do with these trailers your JT Orange looks good on it too and the Lonestar will make for a nice combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Albion Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Interesting project! The kit looks quite delicate and I can imagine that getting parts to align properly is difficult. Your doing a great job of it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Got a little more done between last night and today.....Got the wheels on and all that's left for the kit stuff is the plumbing.....I've started the Lonestar, as well.....I've got a really good feeling about this whole model....This is starting to get fun....
