tbill Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 great looking build! love the color choice, excellent combo. trailer looks spectacular as well! only thing I see that is 'odd' to me, the chrome mud gaurds in front of the rear wheels look to be on upside down, was this on purpose, or? looks cool actually, but looks as though they would drag on the pavement in real life.

Petetrucker07 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thats exactly what he did, its different, outside the box thinkin, kinda jealous i didnt think of it. They probably would drag the ground but thats how we roll on the west coast. Low and slow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepmd Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Super sharp build! Very well done. Ingenious solution to a stainless sided trailer! I am burning rubber over to Auto Zone after posting this. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 This is a very nice build....I, particularly, like the rocker panel tape you used for the trailer sides.....That really came out good.....I also like the reversal of the fenders on the truck....That's something I don't think many of us have ever tried....That looks pretty awesome....I mean, seriously.....I'm a pretty "seasoned" modeler and I've NEVER thought of that, as many of us would agree....Sure, they would drag, but if you cut even a couple mm off, then you've got something really workable.....I, for one, am thankful for that idea.... Amazing what you can learn from this forum.....And the paint scheme ROCKS, by the way.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I agree with, things are never finished. You always see something or decide to change things, im changing the fenders again on my "finished" little 359. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
