gatorincebu Posted June 30, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted July 4, 2020 Share 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorincebu Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share 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 .
