Mopar - D Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Gareth Thanks, Thanks Jeff. Thanks Tom. Thanks Ken. Well I’ve been working on the trailer interior that came with the trailer. First it’s set up for just one car and I have 2. I’ve parts from another race car hauler trailer so my plan is to extend the car supports to handle both cars. The rear ramp in the kit dose not work so I’m going to redesign it to make it work. It’s not like the one that is in the Dan Gurney trailer either. I don’t have enough details to do that one so I’m going to make mine one that would of worked for them. Here’s what I have laid out so far.
gotnitro? Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 glad to see your back at the bench, hopefully you didnt get effected to badly from the storm Ive been chatting with fellow reefers in Texas were they struggled keeping their tanks running and inhabitants alive..mostly to no avail. Never would expect that kind of weather to strike the southern states
Mopar - D Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Thanks Jeff, We made out ok lost power for a total of about 60 hours but no frozen or busted pipes. It’s good to be able to be back on the bench. The red, green and yellow paints are supposed to be here today.
Mopar - D Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Thanks Brian Paint for the stripes arrived today
Mopar - D Posted February 23, 2021 Author Posted February 23, 2021 Sprayed some silver on the interior. Planning on painting the cabinets red. I’m going to start laying out the stripes on the sides of the trailer next. Painting the AAR on the back of the trailer is going to be fun ? I’m hoping I can pull it off.
Mopar - D Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks Jeff and Brian I'm for the most part done with the cab. Still have a couple decals to put on and the shifter.
Mopar - D Posted February 26, 2021 Author Posted February 26, 2021 More progress on the interior of the trailer today. Making the supports for the front car using spare parts from my other race car hauler.
Bills72sj Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 If you have not secured the tool cabinets in place yet, may I suggest that you add some toe-kick spacers. Those cabinet doors in real life would be sweeping the floors.
kilrathy10 Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 That is looking very nice, Man... These cabinet walls always look so good after painting... Excellent work.... And the rest of the trailer is coming along nicely, as well... Awesome....

Mopar - D Posted March 1, 2021 Author Posted March 1, 2021 Thanks Bill for your recommendation I would of made the change if I had known about the doors being on the floor a week ago. I’m to far along now and I’ve got just enough clearance for the Cuda’s the way it is now. Thanks JT. Thanks Ken. Making some progress on painting the trailer.
kilrathy10 Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Looks like you've been having fun.... Very tedious work, but the pay off will be a wonderful model to display...
gotnitro? Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Holy cow...thats a milestone! Well done on that masking job, and over a ribbed panel ! That trailer is gonna look ? behind the tractor !
Mopar - D Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 Thanks JT and yes it’s fun. Thanks Jeff Well the weather has slowed me down with painting but a nice lady at my local car repair shop I was at yesterday has offered to make all the lettering for the trailer with vinyl.
Mopar - D Posted March 3, 2021 Author Posted March 3, 2021 Was able to get some spray painting done today on the cabinets and second color on the stripes.
kilrathy10 Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 Looking good, Man... You're just a rolliin' on this baby...
