dptydawg Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 This is a recently completed project. The RofG auto rack was an unpainted but well built glue bomb that I acquired several ears ago. The tractor in an AMT LNT8000 kit. The only mods to the trailer was to improve the rear axles and add break drums. Also modified the hydraulic plumbing. The tractor was repowered with a Cummins out of the Autocar dump truck. I built the head rack to carry another vehicle. It is not easy to paint this trailer after it is built. lots of corners that an airbrush won't reach This model allows me to display up to 7 model vehicles in a small area. I still have to do some tractor to trailer plumbing and to install tie downs once i decide on the cargo to display Thanks for loooing Carl
kilrathy10 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Good stuff, Man....This is a great way to do it.....I'm a big fan of any car hauler....This is beautiful.....
charlie8575 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Nicely done. "The car salesman with no fixed address" is a bit of a concern, though. Charlie Larkin
DodgeAddict Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 That's a great displayYears back I did kinda the same thing with limited space & displayed my different tractors with HaulAway & Transporter trailers filled with cars & trucks
Plastheniker Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Carl, this is a really nice rig in an unusual but attractive colour combination. The rack on top of the tractor gives your model a very special and interesting appearance.
Mopar - D Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Carl, great job on your transporter. I've been researching transporters for designs on the car over the cab rack yours looks right on.

Biggie Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Wow, nice one! Can you post a picture of your dio from a distance...looks really interesting!
Hessel Hemstra Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 Put a mirror behind it and your collection doubles ;-) Hessel
