Tandem axle Haul Away car transporter


Recommended Posts

This is the AMT Haul Away trailer with a tandem axle. I used 2 kits to make this a tandem plus I reworked the upper rear deck to be able to support a car and transport in the raised position that now allowed 3 cars in the lower level. I also fixed the lower front section ramps so you can drive a car all the way to the front. The load of cars are all 1967 model year Dodge’s and Plymouth’s.

Great job, lots of great details put into it, looks as if AMT actually offered this tandem haul-away trailer. In keeping with a previous comment in your build section about Dodge trucks hauling Dodge cars, I wonder how the IMC Dodge L 700 ( new for '66)  single screw would look hauling this load of  '67 Dodge and Plymouth cars?

Man, it turned out good... The supports for the rear ramp look authentic... All the holes drilled give it that realism it needs, and the tandem axle just works for this trailer... Makes so much more sense, this way... Beautiful... Can't wait to see it in person... Awesome build...

Thanks Tommy, the L700 would work for the local deliveries.

I really like the modifications. The original always looked a little toy like. 

Thanks Don I just couldn’t leave it the way it was.

That is just awesome.  The trailer looks much better with your mods.  And the load of cars... wow, each one nicely detailed.  Simply fantastic... thanks for sharing.

Thanks Roy, I built the cars over a 10 year period. The GTX and Charger are the only box kits the other ones are resin bodies.

Aside from your excellent work on the trailer itself, all the upgrades you made look like they came with the kit.

Well Done!

Amazing job! Everything about this setup is perfect. I see you started another transporter already, I'm surprised your not resting your fingers for a little while longer after drilling, I mean building this one.

Thanks Mark, not to many drilled holes required with the new one the trailer is checkered plate.
