gatorincebu Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 About a month ago . ipulled out one of the old AMT lowboy kits. The box actually had two kits in it . So wanting to do something a bit different. I decided to modify this one a bit. I stretched the goose neck about a half inch . Then cut the rear of the load deck off at the angle . And then added about 3/1/2 inches . The rear was built per kit instructions. Some photos of the beginning of the build Be Well Gator

Bills72sj Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 I am interested in how yours turns out. I recommend you do the woodgraining trick. (You commented on the one I built last year)
gatorincebu Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 Thanks guys for your comments . Things have slowed on this project. trying to get enough tires the same size . I still need to make tie down loops . I have painted the plastic wood grained decking. But I may go with real wood ??? Not really trying to do anything spectacular. Just to build a decent looking trailer for some heavy iron. Also have many other trailer projects in progress . Just rehabbed an ERTL GD extendable trailer . Just need a couple of bits to call it done . Also have a stretched gravel trailer in the paint shop . WIll be taking some photos when I get some of these projects finished . Be Well Gator
Mopar - D Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 Gator looks like you are in a trailer building mode now! Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
