Mopar - D Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 You have it looking good Tom and getting closer to finishing it.
tbill Posted March 7, 2022 Author Posted March 7, 2022 Thanks guys, should have the truck wrapped up soon, then it’s trailer time. This is pretty much where I stopped last night…
Mopar - D Posted March 8, 2022 Posted March 8, 2022 Very sharp! Looking forward to seeing your trailer behind it Tom.
Oldmopars Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 Are those dash fans part of the kit? I have 2 kits, but have not opened either one. (normal and Rat Fink)

Mopar - D Posted March 9, 2022 Posted March 9, 2022 The decals finish it off nice Tom and your trailer is perfect for it to.
tbill Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 Thanks guys, appreciate the comments and inspiration. The truck is done, so now it’s trailer focus until that’s done. 3
Mopar - D Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Excellent build Tom! Looking forward to seeing your trailer behind it.
TruckerAL Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Awesome, that looks great. Looking forward to seeing that trailer behind it! I need to pick one of those trailers up one of these days!
tbill Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 Thanks guys, Ive got the trailer 1/2 in paint, well, a third of it I guess lol. We are supposed to get dumped on with snow late Friday, so I’ll be at the bench all weekend …. 1
tbill Posted March 12, 2022 Author Posted March 12, 2022 So, the white bits are done, finally, tomorrow will be mask and spray the aluminum, then some green stripes of some sort. I ended up gluing all the doors closed due to some warping of the parts, which honestly was rather disappointing for a ‘new reissue’, would have thought parts would not be warped, but it is what it is, stay tuned for more updates…..
tbill Posted March 13, 2022 Author Posted March 13, 2022 Getting closer, got one side pretty much done…. 1
tbill Posted March 20, 2022 Author Posted March 20, 2022 Calling it done. If you guys should build this trailer, be warned that the decals are kind of thick and don’t really respond well to decal softener ( at least they didn’t for me ), and I couldn’t get them to conform very well. It does look good on the shelf though. Thanks for following along on this one. 1
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted March 20, 2022 Posted March 20, 2022 Sharp looking rig!! I like the color scheme! Nice work!!
