TAT Transtar 5 Car Hauler (Update Jan. 21, 2017) Almost Done

[kilrathy10]

Gonna build a 5 car hauler using the Transtar 4300 and some bits and pieces from the Revell Car Hauler.....I'll be getting on it pretty soon.....I was beginning to think I wouldn't make the deadline with my Lonestar build.....As soon as I find it, I'll post a pic of a 1:1 of what I mean.....

Found it....Best one I could get, but you get the idea, now.....

Remember there is a small issue with the front axle on this kit.  I had to move mine a little forward.

Hope this will help a little. I got a chance to get some reference pics of how the upright is mounted to the frame behind the steer axle. Plus a few extra pics just in case. I also have a pic of the fifth wheel setup too if you want.
