Bills72sj Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I finished my AMT Great Dane extendable flatbed trailer. I had a break in the weather and took it outside for some pics. Some mods were done to it to customize it. The front bulkhead is held in place with hidden magnets allowing its removal. A deck extension was scratch built to increase the length of the deck for larger loads. A tag axle was added to improve the GVWR. A rear "Oversized Load" placard was scratch built since the decal was included in the kit. It is being pulled by my Freightliner DD day cab I finished last year. It will eventually be loaded up with Plymouth Superbirds and Dodge Daytonas. (I have to build them first) Comments welcome.

Cant wait for your winged fleet too Thanks Jeff. I am still debating what is next on the agenda to build. I have not decided if I will tackle my two Superbirds or batch build something else. 5 hours ago, Mopar - D said: Awesome build Bill!
