Mopar - D Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm going with a white stripe on the cab. The trailer will be red also to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 Charger Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 That's going to look great I may try something like this but with the revel trailer . I cant wait to see it all painted Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks Dave, I looked at using the Revell trailer first but when I checked out this trailer decided to go with this one. It's a simpler conversion for me to do with going with the lower hitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks JT and Thomas, this morning I worked on adding the rear mud flaps and a step above the rear wheels. Then I started cutting out the front grill on the cab. I also thinned the back side as the resin in this area was very thick. Also painted the trailer wheels.

mustang1989 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The paint on those wheels looks good Dan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Thanks Joe and Jeff, I need to make a Hobby Lobby run to get some primer so I can finish priming the trailer and the truck headache. Still look at what else I can add to the truck section like hand rails or steps or ??? I'm open for any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Man, this is really looking good.....Everything is just fine.....About the only thing I'd suggest is that you make a couple ladders similar to the trailer to kind of tie them both together, as if they were made by the same company.....Then I think you'll be golden.....Again, just a suggestion.....Don't want to give you too many ideas....I just might be competing against this one, this spring..... Really diggin' this model, though.....Gonna be tough, this year, for sure...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Add some ramp supports / hand grips on the back of the truck. Finished cutting out the front grill and sprayed primer on the trailer and cab. Will be working on getting the cab painted red with a white stripe.

Christopher J Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) I've got a couple pics of the connections, shoot me your email. I agree about the ladder too. If you need some more reference pics let me know. A few of the trucks I dispatch are in the shop for service I can snap some more.
