Gary Chastain Posted September 29 Author Posted September 29 Getting close to paint, got to work out the lights and some details for load straps. 3
Jürgen M. Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Looks perfect. You should be a truck customizing architect. You have knowledge and skills! 1
Gary Chastain Posted Tuesday at 07:55 PM Author Posted Tuesday at 07:55 PM Got the fenders modified to match the truck and spending more time sanding the fenders to reduce the issues I had painting them. Made a tail light assembly similar to the rear truck light setup. Trying to follow the mild custom theme on truck and trailer. 5
BK9300 Posted Wednesday at 05:24 PM Posted Wednesday at 05:24 PM (edited) When the trailer is painted and the deck plates chromed, going to look awesome (looks awesome as is!) Edited Wednesday at 05:24 PM by BK9300 3

Gary Chastain Posted Thursday at 05:15 PM Author Posted Thursday at 05:15 PM Got the tires/wheels built this morning, measuring the axles out, will glue them on after paint, as the suspension will be semi gloss black. Next assemble all the brake parts (sitting on aluminum plate). Ready to start primer/paint on all frame, fenders and frame components. Will build axles while painting frame stuff. 6

Gary Chastain Posted Saturday at 09:55 AM Author Posted Saturday at 09:55 AM Paint work turned out good, refitting wood on deck, add a light stain/finish, reinstall. Need all the yellow side marker lights and finish up suspension. 3

Gary Chastain Posted Saturday at 03:14 PM Author Posted Saturday at 03:14 PM Deck and container both got a coating weathering (didn’t want new wood floor or new wooden box look). Waiting for material for straps. Now finish axles. 1

Jürgen M. Posted Saturday at 08:58 PM Posted Saturday at 08:58 PM Thanks! I'm not trying to hijack here but I wanted to show you the straps I had printed for the Brockway (Convoy): They were measured to the mm, designed and printed. Of course they're nor flexible! Just thought it might be interesting! Sorry if anyone thinks I hijacked! 1
