shelby team semi trailer

[65slotcar]

i  hope to build  this  shelby team  hauler  and need advice on  a  1/25 or 1/24  kit  to start from.   early  sixties, possibly  a moving trailer.

You can find the AMT NASCAR hauler trailers on ebay for cheap, they're essentially the Mayflower moving van trailer.

Those race car trailers like Brian posted are just reissues of the old moving van kits AMT issued in the 70s William. They have 5 spoke wheels in them also just like this Mayflower kit, the discs were just added to the kits for the race versions in those hauler reissues along with the other parts AMT added to convert the moving vans into racing trailers.
