Turbo590 Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) 9/6/2010 Guy's.... Well....After sometime away from building, and with October the 9th (NNL Toledo) right around the corner...I picked up from where I left off earlier in the year....a few days just spent fabricating I ditched the side to side tarp with bows, and went with the traditional tarper to represent the Coal Hauler that is used around the area...Just need to complete the tarp motor housing...the trailer has been in primer for a period of time now....some fine tuning body work has been completed, and off to the paint booth for the gloss black base coat...and 3 bottles of Alclad polished aluminum awaiting. Getting back to building has tough, since I have been in a major "slump" hopefully the "juices" start flowing again...Kurt McLucas LINK to my FOTKI account with additional pictures http://public.fotki.com/turbo590/jj-dynahauleraf-alu/ Edited October 2, 2010 by Turbo590
mikemodeler Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 That is going to be a beauty when you get it done! I can only imagine the work left to do on it to get the Alcad to to shine.
Kostas Parchas Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Fly Alcad, Fly!!!! LOL LOL. Can't wait... Kostas.
Pete1980 Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 Wow that looks great.The chassis for the trailer looks killer.I cant wait to see the rest finished.
Old Albion Posted September 13, 2010 Posted September 13, 2010 Kurt, Very Impressed. I like the frame, the blue and the chrome look great. I had forgotten about this build. Great to see it back on the agenda. Dave

Best regards Daniel Gailloux Daniel, Yes, "she'll" be completed prior to Fulton..making arrangements with Gary to attend once again this year. I look forward to seeing you. Kurt
Turbo590 Posted September 14, 2010 Author Posted September 14, 2010 Very nice! How did you get the chrome like finish on the wheels may I ask? Looks superb. Thank you to everyone for the great feedback. The Dump box is finally in full primer with sealer. The gloss black base coat will be applied yet this week, and then the "Alclad" flies... The trailer frame and the wheels are all done in Alclad polished aluminum, as will be the dump body...and then some blue accent stripes and decals. Its been a fun build, with its share of challenges. It will make its first debut at the upcoming NNL/Toledo in Ohio (October 13th) Kurt

Turbo590 Posted September 17, 2010 Author Posted September 17, 2010 You're going to be doing some traveling! This year is "nothing" compared to last year.... Its always fun to see everyone once or twice a year to catch up....The Fulton, NY show is outstanding for the showing of truck models. Kurt
Turbo590 Posted September 25, 2010 Author Posted September 25, 2010 9/25/2010 After spending time at a friends paint shop (booth) last week...the trailer is in Alclad polished aluminum, (biggest piece I have done to date), and trust me the flaws show...decals and stripping were completed last night on on side. Wheels were added to "mock-up" for some pictures. With this progress, the trailer should be completed by the end of next week...hopefully Kurt
