5th Wheel Car Hauler

[dptydawg]

This project is a bit of a kit bash of some parts kits that I had in m stash. I used a Revell race car trailer and the AMT racers wedge kit to form a 2 car 5th wheel trailer. I sectioned the trailer frame on either side of the axles and mounted it under the wedge. I then reattached the beaver tail to the front of the trailer frame and mounted it on the top of the wedge, The upper ramps are from a Gallaxi trailer kit. I added wood trips to fill in the upper deck. The pull truck is temporary as I;m converting a Monogram F350 to a flat deck. once its completed I'll install the hitch at the propper hight.

 

 

 

and with a cargo... 68 Cuda and a 70 Challenger SE

Looks great but that 68 Barracuda on the trailer has me drooling!

[redneckrigger]

Nice building! It looks every bit the part of it's 1:1 counterpart! Only way it could be better is if it was pulled by and carrying CHEVY!  Lol....just kidding, VERY nice work!

Looks great!

[DumpyDan]

Now that is cool, gonna use your it you might say steal your idea

[bbowser]

What a great idea!  That looks really cool.  I have all these parts laying around, I'm stealing your idea 

[vintagercr]

Great looking trailer!

[Tom Geiger]

Thanks Guys for all the interest. This build went together rather easily, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I found some larger rubber in the parts box. I think it looks better that way. I'm glad that some of you may get the erg to do something with the racers wedge kit. I wasn't impressed with it as an add on to a pickup chassis.

The 68 Cuda is a resto of an old MPC glue bomb with parts from the 69 repop. It is a tribute to my first new car, complete with the Craiger SS mags and 383  4 gear.

This is a great job....I see these here and there around town.....While these double car haulers are not rare, they are not exactly common, either...I always wondered why only 2, but I'm sure there is a very good reason........I love what you've done with this one....I have plans to build a 4 car hauler similar to this one.....I saw one a few weeks ago, and thought; "I just have to build one of those"......Excellent work....I like the wood deck up top.....Looks awesome.....
