As I said on the other forum, I’m pleased to see a group photo of the complete series. The trailer is excellent and makes for a great “billboard” behind the tractors.

Very nice fleet.

Great Great Dane! Looks good with mudflaps fixed to the rear-end so they don't move with the tandems. 

Thanks Steve!! There were a lot of Great Danes back in the day with the mudflaps mounted this way. It is probably less effective, but, I like the way it looks too.

Great job on the entire fleet.  What did you use for the chrome on the trailer?

Thanks Warren!! I used HVAC aluminum duct tape. The nose and back doors were chrome in the kit, I covered the sides with aluminum and then polished it a little bit. I got the idea from KJ Humphreys. It turned out okay for my first try.

You've done an amazing job there, I thought they'd done a chrome sided version!
