For me, scratchbuilding many times is more fulfilling than actual kit building. Really like the way you have reworked this kit and your overall concept. Hook that baby up, head to Sturgis or Daytona and make some money while having fun. Looking forward to more updates.

Thanks Ricky, a lot of my builds stall after the scratch building is done. I have boxes of them that just don't go any further because the rest is all the detail stuff that I really don't enjoy doing.

I built the back wall for the trailer & cut down some old barrels for it too. Got some black primer on the trailer but it needs some more work done before paint. I was going to make it white but the more I see it in black the more I like it.

I really like what you have going on here!

The Scratch Building on the trailer is just superb.

Thanks RRR, it's getting there.

I fixed some of the bad spots in the primer and reshot it. Then built the fold down bar and gave everything some stain. I'm happy with it so far. I need to build the roof next then I can decal it and finish this thing up.

It's been a while but I'm back at it. I repainted the trailer white because my decals are on clear paper. I started putting a top together and added an old sun roof from the parts box to let some light in. I also tried to make a Jack bottle from a piece of square stock, didn't come out too bad so I'll try and make a few more.

The back wall is finished, now we need some weather over 1 degree to paint the trailer, doors & top so I can put it in for good.

Thanks Chris, I made the cups by chucking a piece of evergreen tubing in my dremel and scribing some grooves in it, tapering the bottom and some red paint.
