Outstanding Ray! The trailer itself is a work of art, and the rivet upgrade on the shaker is awesome.

Maybe ill give building a Fontaine RGN like I used to pull a try

Absolutely Amazing! Those old cabovers look massively intimidating when they're done right and yours, is done right! If that combo was an actual 1:1 rig, I'd have no issues whatsoever about buckling in and running the wheels off of it coast to coast. Well Done!!! :D

What driveline did you build? Something mean and nasty, I'm to assume? Just curious, although I'm just a modelbuilder, I'm still a gear-head at heart...

This was built because of the real truck. It's my friend's fathers truck. He hauls from coast to coast. The model is the white-freightliner kit. 1 scale inch added to the sleeper, frame stretched 1 inch, headache rack was stratchbuilt along with the visor, wing, bumpers, dash, and the entire trailer. Alot of fun to build. This was the first truck I have built since I was a kid.
