guitarsam326 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I usually finish one model before starting another, but here lately its been easier to give up on one for a bit. I started this trailer in hopes of finishing it for a show in 2 weeks.....yeah right lol. Anyways, it will be going behind the paystar, and the first pic is just a built up i have for use as a mock up, I'm starting with a fresh kit.

gatorincebu Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Brian , The truck looks great. And the gravel trailer is a good choice for a trailer . With the wet kit installed it could also pull a lowboy . Be Well Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Its hard to tell from the pics (mainly because I'm no photographer) but shes got a fresh coat of primer and just came out of the dehydrator, so tomorrow I'll throw on some color.

signguy2108 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Good start, great pics. I'm starting a 2 axle frameless w/ aluminum wheels. I'll follow this one closely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Sam nice work on your dump trailer I like your details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpeterbilt Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 That chassis is very crisp and clean Sam. I can tell how much work you have done, because I know all too well how heavy the mold seams are, and how tapered the rails and crossmembers are. The gladhands look great.

guitarsam326 Posted February 15, 2017 Author Share Posted February 15, 2017 Thanks guys!Terry, that dump bed is ridiculous as far as mold seams and fit. I'll never understand why they didnt make it a one piece deal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarsam326 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Ok, need some input. Ive seen streaking like this on trailers before, but i think i went overboard, but this is the effect i want only not as heavy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
