Oldmopars Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 So, I am working on a new project. My plan is to build a L700 and put the 40 Ford that came with it on the trailer. However the Ford is really bad and so I decided to make it a period Gasser from 1962. I have the build for that here: As for the L700, I have started it. I have spent a bunch of time first getting the stance correct so it does not look like a stink bug. I also got the doors fitted before the paint so I could make sure they fit right.
Mopar - D Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Looking good and looking forward to seeing more.
olsbooks Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Is the trailer that comes with this kit worth a hoot/have any real potential in your opinion? Peace

Peace Well, in a way, yes. I took the rear half and used it to make a flatbed. I extended the frame and moved the axle rearward. I think it will better represent the double duty truck that I wanted. I want it to look like a farm rig that is used to haul the family race car to the track on Sundays. I don't have any pictures, but I fixed the rear axle. The way it is from the kit the axles are weak and misshapen. I cut off and drilled out the axles and replaced it with .125 Evergreen tube. I pushed it into the axle about .5in to make sure that it is strong. Way better than the way the kit has it.
