Very nice build Bill.

Is there anyway to show some how to photos or a link on the working ramp?

This thing looks great.

I cant believe i let this slip by! This is just awesome. You do some amazing work man. Very well done. How did you do the rear door.

[Cien1986]

impressive build....

[Dirt Demon]

Thanks guys!...... Gonna be building another one soon for my Tim McCreadie Dirt late model.

[Petetrucker07]

Hope you go into some detail on how you do the rear gate. You do excellent work man, really nice.

Great build !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys.... I will be starting another Featherlite trailer soon. Just waiting on a big order from Scalehobbyist to arrive.The new trailer will be a tri axle Donny Schatz TSR Racing World of Outlaws Replica. The only difference is that it will be pulled with another LoneStar like the one I used for this build. I'd love to get my hands on a Volvo VN 780 tractor kit if I could find one that I didn't have to take out a loan to buy!..lol.... But it will look good with the LoneStar pulling it.

Don't worry.... http://www.plastic-models.com will have some more Volvos come January....They had a few last week and I got one coming soon for song....Only $54.99 after coupon codes and free shipping.......But they're out until January.....

Gonna be working on a Featherlite style rig for next year, myself....

Im gonna start on 1 myself, JT may know the trailer. Im undecided on a truck. I may end up with a 379. I REALLY need to do 1 of them.

[Dirt Demon]

Do it up Clayton.... I'll be doing a full build log of my new Trailer. I have a fiber optic light kit just waiting to be used!....

[Petetrucker07]

Ill really be looking at how you do the rear ramp, making it operate. My problem with building 379 is i cant decide how i want to build it. I think for the transporter i have an idea, but colors keep racin in my head.

[Dirt Demon]

The working ramp isn't that hard to do really. I will go into detail about it in the build with plenty of photos. I've had others ask about that very same thing. So you all will have an understanding of how it works. I'm glad I can help you guys with your questions.

Pete 379...are you using the Italeri 378 with a modified hood or a resin hood.

[Petetrucker07]

Yep. Extended hood 379 from Bill Drennen

[Force]

Okay...that's what I got also...I bought mine from P&P while he still carried them.
