rtcarey11 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 got it finished in time for NNL East. Enjoy the pics. Ray Carey rtcarey11
rronning84 Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 That came out very nice. I am liking that headache rack.
Alfnut Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 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
The Modeling Hermit Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Josh beat me to it, so I'll second his outstanding.
Jim B Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 That looks really nice. Wasn't NNL East last weekend?
Guest Johnny Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 That is SWEET!!! I was ready to climb in and start hauling!
Wagoneer81 Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 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!!! 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...
rtcarey11 Posted May 1, 2010 Author Posted May 1, 2010 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. Ray Carey rtcarey11
