This is a 7 car hauler using the AMT Autocar A64B truck and the Revell Auto-transporter trailer.  There’s was scratch building for the car racks on the truck and modifications for the trailer. I used a low hitch position for the trailer and added 50 scale inches to the truck frame. I’m starting on a 1970 Chrysler 300 to replace the top down Challenger. More details on the building of this in the WIP section. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated. I will get some outside pictures when our sun comes out here.

Wow, that's a lot to look at. Being a big Mopar fan, this is real eye candy. you just nailed it. Looking forward to see the outside pictures. Natural light is unbeatable when it comes to model photography. Excellent craftmanship.

Fantastic job! The engineering on this one looks like it was done by official  blueprints. Really like the  fleet truck look of the Autocar,  very little chrome.

Excellent work on this build! Top notch scratch building! The Ryder decals knocked this one out of the park! It really looks the part!!

Thanks Brian it’s been a fun build and I felt the same way about the decals to.

Thanks Tommy, I can’t tell you how many pictures of car transporters I looked at and studied before I started building this.

turned out great Dan! I'll take the super bee when you get to the car lot.

Thanks Ken, I’ll let you know when it arrives at the car lot lol.

All the time and effort has paid off, big time... This looks great... It's actually a build years in the making... All those cars along with the truck took some time to do... That makes the build all the more impressive... Those ain't "Snappers" up on those racks!!! ?

I would call that putting ones heart and soul into a build!

Thanks Johnny

Really nice. It looks the part, for sure. You don’t see the stinger set-up modeled often (because of the modification and scratch-building required), but it’s so common on the road. Definitely nice to see, and makes for a great display.

I absolutely love your car haulers!  Vast inspiration in your wips, and stunning results. 

Thanks Sam.  I’ve got a couple more still in my stash to build but I’ve got to build some more cars first. lol ?

Thanks Vincent. I’m always looking at the real ones on the road and still amazed at how low to the ground they are.
