LED auto transporter

[Thundercat]

This build took me over 4 months. Over 240 hours. Instauled 49 LED's. Scratch built the upper and lower racks on the rig. Streched the chassis to put in the sleeper cab in that the kit didn't come with. Lowered the fith wheel to aline with the trailer. On the trailer I scratch built all the front lower framing to lower the king pin for the rig. Built outer framing for the LED's.

Bob. Me neither. That's why I had to post it on this site. Someone on Hobby Talk said it should be in a model car mag. I really hope it gets picked up.

Thanks for the comments Bob and James.

Nice work.

What kit did you start with?

[Thundercat]

Kenworth W900 Wrecker.

I added all my pictures and a discription of how I did the build into my gallery if you want to check it out.

Wow! That's one long rig; the lighting effects are great.

Could you post some tighter shots, please? I'd love to see some of the building and lighting detail.

That came out real sharp looking Thundercat.

Very good job.

[sjordan2]

Very, very impressive. I've only seen lighting like that on much larger builds, which I think would be easier to do than what you've accomplished. Congratulations.

Brilliant build, love the use of the LED's, did you do a WIP on this one, I would like to know how you put them in, and how you run all the wiring ....

[Thundercat]

I submitted an article to MCM giving step by step instructions on how I built the set. Hopefully It gets put in the next issue.

[Chuck Most]

Extremely cool!

You might get a larger and more appreciative audience if you moved this to the truck forum. I don't quite get why this is in the Car Clubs forum.

That's a great tip. I didn't think of that. I wanted to post it with all the cars on it but I ran out of space.

[Thundercat]

I hope this fits in with the model car club.

[ewaskew]

That looks real cool with the cars on there.

Post it in the truck section also more people could see it I think.

[martinfan5]

Yes I agree, this thread should be move to the truck section, I think a lot more people will see it, and I know a lot of the truck guys will really like this one.
