kilrathy10 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Can't believe I've been working on this for 3 months.... That's an eternity for me....
olsbooks Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Wow! I go off in the wilderness for 90 days causing mayhem while you have been doing far more constructive things! Gotta go back and read up on this one closely! Absolutely stunning my friend! Peace.
Christopher J Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 VERY VERY nice build so far. I have a couple of these AMT trailers. One I built for my oldest, the other I've scavenged parts from as well. Did you use BMF for the stainless or metalizers paints? The parts look great. Will your rear door function as a the lift as well?

Will your rear door function as a the lift as well?Thanks, Man....I'm still toying with the rear lift gate.....I'm leaving space for an elevator, and I think I've got all the bugs worked out...I'll pass final judgement on it as I approach the end....I used Krylon's Silver Foil Metallic paint for the counter tops and everything else....Works great...Shines brightly....Has some issues with dry time, but it looks fantastic.....
slusher Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Outstanding work on this JT. Great attention to detail.....
Goodwrench3 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Can't believe I've been working on this for 3 months.... That's an eternity for me.... Ha ha.. I've never finished one in less than that ! You are a machine !! Great work on this !!
Christopher J Posted May 17, 2015 Posted May 17, 2015 Will definitely be looking for some of that Krylon.
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Got the graphics applied.....Have to pick out all the extra pieces, but I have to mask and paint it, first.... The masking and paint..... Got a sliding door for the partition working.....
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) This baby is far from complete, but here's a sneak peak at the exterior....A good buddy of mine from another forum made these for me a couple of years ago, and I still had a set left over, so this is what I did with it........Just a few more things with the interior, and I'm on to the elevator/lift gate.....

Petetrucker07 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Looks great man. I'm lookin forward to seeing how you do the rear.
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 LOL !!! Thanks, Anthony... I suppose I'd have to win a race or two, before they'd be interested....Not even sure what I'll be racing, yet....And thanks, Clayton....I think I've got it worked out in my head how the lift gate is going to work....Pray for me, Man...
Petetrucker07 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Well, maybe off road racing. Heck, why not ARCA or Saturday night short track racing.... Sprint Cars, Midgets I was gonna suggest one his Raptors for a SCORE stock class team.
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Well, maybe off road racing. Heck, why not ARCA or Saturday night short track racing.... Sprint Cars, MidgetsWell, I do have another Raptor or two that need some orange....Looks like it's going to be off road racing....
Petetrucker07 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) You beat me to it man. Thats my plan for the Raptors I'm gonna be ordering. But I'm gonna do some heavy cage work, making it as close as I can to Trophy Truck. Edited May 18, 2015 by Petetrucker07
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) That does look like a nice project, Man...I don't think I'm going to be that ambitious, though....I think I'm going to stay with the performance engineering thing....More like an aftermarket parts showcase, come to think of it....What's possible with a stock truck....Bolt on parts and such....Like Henessey....And, I'm loving the Raptor models....They're plenty cheap, enough to get quite a few at a time....

outkast1027 Posted May 18, 2015 Posted May 18, 2015 Something orange that might fit inside lol.[/url[url=http://s1180.photobucket.com/user/outkast1027/media/cars009_zpsa5f467f1.jpg.html]
kilrathy10 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks, Boys.... I like that Mustang, Jeremy....
GrumpyGrowly Posted May 19, 2015 Posted May 19, 2015 JT, are you going to make the elevator/lift gate fully articulating or fixed? (articulating) You might try a pole and tube support for gate with a sliding anchor point on the trailer. pole and tube work like an air piston and sliding anchor points would allow gate to open, close or move up and down for stacking trailer. I have followed your work I know you can do this. Still if you think a prayer will help , you got it.

Still if you think a prayer will help , you got it.Believe it or not, I think I about got it...On paper, at least.....I think I will have to build another roof to accommodate the design, though......We'll see soon enough....I've just about finished with the interior....A couple of pieces of trim and I'm pretty much done with it.....Almost everything is going to plan.....A couple of design flaws that had to be addressed, but I've about got it.....Pictures real soon.....
kilrathy10 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Got the flooring painted, per the suggestion of my good buddy, Clayton, a checker board pattern has been selected.....I must say, this really set the interior off.....Thanks, again, Clayton.....The interior is almost complete.....Lift gate on the way.....
