KJ790 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I think I'm finally finished with my 70's style Great Dane Reefer. I started with an AMT Great Dane dry van, added some 2 hole steel wheels, scratch built carrier reefer unit and fuel tank, then took a stab at weathering. Here is the end result. I hope to get some shots outside in the daylight eventually. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJ790 Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Thanks guys, I have started working on a white freightliner COE to pull it. I am updating it to an early 80's model right after freightliner branched off from white. I am also working on a late 80's freightliner FLA with square headlights and different grille.

Trailking120 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) KJ This trailer came out great and the weathering really brings it to life. It will great with 49 pulling it.

kingiguana Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Nice weathering, just one nit pick,...the tires need some sanding of the tread. Great work though, just needs a tractor hooked up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderbread Kustomz Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 This is very nice! My father was a truck driver when I was growing up...mid 70s to late 80s, I remember when he would park his truck in front of the house with one of these reefers attached... Made a few neighbors upset and the cops made him move the truck to a nearby shopping center ... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
