kilrathy10 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Here we go....I finally got it finished, enough, to post it under glass....I'm kinda proud of this one, as I tried something to reinforce the chassis so that it wouldn't sag and it seems to have worked....No discernable sag....I'm happy, happy, happy....Here's a shot of the finished product, first, and then some of the progression... Finally got this one almost all done...The only thing I have to do is connect the turbo to the air cleaners.... It's been raining, but tomorrow is supposed to be pretty nice....Hopefully I'll get some outside shots of it....Hope Y'all enjoy it.... Now it's on to the trailer....

kilrathy10 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Here's what I got on the trailer, right now...Completely scratchbuilt, with the exception of the wheels and tires....They're from the 1/20 scale Lindberg edition Pete.....About to start on the interior....I haven't figured out, exactly, what it's gonna look like, but I have a pretty good idea... Oh, yeah....This thing is just shy of 5' long....59 1/4", to be exact....And 10" tall... Edited April 6, 2013 by kilrathy10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signguy2108 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Good looking rig, JT. The trailer just compliments the truck. Are you building a seperate room to keep it in?!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custom Hearse Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I see just one thing wrong with it... It's not in my apartment!!!
