65slotcar Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 my cobra builds are getting close to being done so it's time for a hauler. started with AMT Ford c600 stake truck. flatbed and wheelbase are too short, but the trailer from AMT c900 mail truck is perfect length. thanks to Gary ( Gramps 46 ) for the link to scale drawings
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 Cool project!! Looking forward to seeing more!
afx Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I'm signed on. Though about doing this project too.
Gramps46 Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 This will be super cool when finished and loaded up. Shelby sold the transporter to Roy Woods for his Trans Am Javelins, ex Penske it think. BTW you owe me a PM with a list of photos you would like to have and a mailing address.
65slotcar Posted February 8, 2020 Author Posted February 8, 2020 great pictures Gary and a little bit of race history i didn't know.
65slotcar Posted February 18, 2020 Author Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) a little progress, build up modified chassis and started ramp pivot post. sleeper cab from aitruckmodels.com a great product and fast shipping. would definitly buy from them again. need to find some good diamond plate ramps. Edited February 18, 2020 by 65slotcar
Dave Van Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 Thanks Gary!!! Never seen those.....as a Javelin owner and AMC fan they are COOL! I'll be watching this build!
cobraman Posted February 18, 2020 Posted February 18, 2020 I did a more simple one awhile ago . Looking forward to seeing yours . Yours will be much better than the one I did . Good luck with your build .
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Cool project! Looking forward to more!
65slotcar Posted February 22, 2020 Author Posted February 22, 2020 thanks guys, a little more progress. next is hydraulic rams for ramp
65slotcar Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 hydraulic rams done, storage boxes are next.
Hermann Kersten Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Great subject and a great build. Hermann.
gatorincebu Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Ray, That is an interesting subject. Not something one would see everyday. You have my attention ! Be Well Gator
Ralph Henderson Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 I just started the same build, but I started without the aid of that wonderful line drawing. I did it the old fashioned way, I started with pics of the exoto 1/43 scale diecast, my calipers, and a calculator. I think I like your way better! Good luck with the build!!
65slotcar Posted January 24, 2021 Author Posted January 24, 2021 back on this project from almost a year ago. made side doors and added trim. using wooden strips to make the flatbed platform.

Nice Job!! How'd you do the trim?? Edited January 24, 2021 by Ralph Henderson
65slotcar Posted January 24, 2021 Author Posted January 24, 2021 thanks Ralph, i used half round plastic strips by evergreen scale models for the trim and use plastruct bondene to glue in place. the strips are really flexible and i glue about 1 inch of trim at a time
