Great progress Tom you keep making it better with each update.

Making progress, cab is pretty much done, so that got installed, rack is now permanent, added a pogo stick and some deck plate as well. I’ve decided to go with different tool boxes on the frame, rather than the plain square ones I had planned to use, these have steps on them, I’ll probably add some grab handles to the rack as well. Should have more to show tomorrow

So far, it’s been pretty good, only issue I had was with one side piece and the corresponding rub rail.The two parts are together on their own sprue, the sprue  was ‘tweaked’,  but I got it sorted out without too much difficulty.

LOL  So that color is awesome, stupid question time, what paint is it and what is the official color call out.... I could really use that on a project I have in mind... been looking for the right hue and this is it.... outstanding build.....

Thanks guys, appreciate the comments. Got more done on the trailer …..everything is in color, tomorrow should be assembly and some detail painting/decals. Should be able to wrap this project up this weekend?

Looking good Tom. That trailer is not going to fit in my spray booth. I see you have yours set up for some long trailers.

That’s going to be a great-looking combo. Nice work.
