Lonestar Car Hauler

[kilrathy10]

Finally got this one done....Now I can get to my BiRBO !!! I had a blast building this one, for sure....I had a few issues, but overall, this project was just too much fun.....I loaded it up with 4 models I did a while ago, with the exception of the Camaro ZL-1 and the Chrysler.....I JUST finished the Camaro, today and the Chrysler a couple weeks ago.....Two die cast models were thrown into the mix (2 orange mustangs).....I was surprised at how strong the trailer is after I glued the upper ramps together.....Supports everything on it's own.....I also added some tool boxes to it.....It didn't look quite right until I installed them.....Then it all came together.......Anyway....Here are the pics......I hope y'all enjoy them....

I also added some length to the uppers to accommodate up to 4 vehicles up top.....Or, as pictured, a couple of bikes....I'll get some paint on those, soon.....

Thanks, Guys.....Ask anybody.....It's my trade mark.....Seriously, I started painting stuff orange after I found a case of it at the dollar store.....It looked good, and it just took off from there......  Just found some Krylon in a little bit lighter orange there....Bought another 9 cans....

Great looking rig! I too like the orange but was curious to the story behind it. I thought maybe it was a sports team color that you favored or maybe you were an Allis Chalmers man. Excellent Work!!

[landman]

A real humdinger! Class right through.

Excellent J.T

[redneckrigger]

Nice build!!! And if it ain't orange, we know it wasn't built by you!

[Canso65]

Your rig turned out nice JT.

You should be getting a volume discount on the paint.

Nice man, you have knocked this one out of the park for sure! Don't worry about the orange paint, just let us fellow modelers know in advance when you're ready to buy more, so we can stock up first! Great job JT!!

I'm not a big fan of the lonestars, but this looks a million dollars! Nice work!

JT, That's another impressive build to add to your orange fleet. The Lonestar looks right under that rolling parking lot.

Well done, JT.  Man, that's a lot of orange!  Where did you get the 1/25 motorcycles?

[1959scudetto]

Excellent truck/trailer combo, JT - now we all know why orange has become your trademark... :-)

Jim, Italeri has/had several trucks with racing trailer in different liveries - some of them included a metal/plastic model of a racing bike:
