Truck and Trailer combo

[Clay]

I've started this trailer to haul the 63 Avanti salt flat car from Raul.Its one of the clear display trailers, never really liked the clear part so I left it off. Its painted Italian Red from Model Masters Laquer.

The front cabinet doors were giving me hell so I just glued them shut.

The truck I am using, at least until I get some more Italian Red, is this Snaptite Chevy C-3500 Street Machine, it is painted GTX Blue.

I need to find some front tires and a set of rims for it first.

Oh and if anyone has any of these kits that are just collecting dust, send me a PM and I will offer a trade for it.

Thanks for looking.

It's lookin good Clay,Where'd the rear rims come from? the Ones that came with that kit are pretty nice.keep it up Bro,It's commin out great!

[Clay]

Those rims came from the 1953 Studebaker Starliner, Double Whammy.

I found some wheels for the front, I got them from the Avanti thats on my workbench. as well as the tires. I will have pictures of it as soon as my camera recharges.

OK I am calling the truck DONE

Look at those MEATS!!!!

Ok well its not really done, I need to attach the reciever and ball for the trailer on the truck.

But anyway, I need some help on the wheels for the trailer.

The ones that came with it?

The stock Avanti wheeles? They have the things that go in the center.

Or, the salt flat rims that came with the Avanti?

slam it on 22's as well as the trailer

and make a kick A$$ paint combo

thats my 2 pennies

Done? What about mirrors, trim, taillights?

For the trailer the Bonneville discs or the Avanti rims would look cool.

Not really into that, but thatnks for the suggestion. and as for paint, I dont have that much paint.

Kit didnt come with mirrors, I got it second hand. The tail lights are there I just need to detail them a little more and there is no trim on it.

Yeah I kinda like the bonnoville discs myself.

Where did you get the camper shell on the tow rig? I had made one out of wood with the intent of vacu-forming them but never built the vacu-form machine. So, I have a big block of wood in the shape of the camper shell.

Oh, BTW. A question about your workbench...

Is it true that A1 makes everything taste better? Even plastic???

I believe I got the truck and trailor from Randy (randxo), but I am entirely not sure.

Believe it or not you are not the first person to ask that. It was on the table in a previous build and someone asked that.

Bout the only thing A1 would be good for, is very bad hamburgers.
