These are a carryover from the other board for some and new to others. The three trucks will represent either a Mopar drag race team or circle track team, two of the trailers will have the frontal enclosure and tire rack for the circle track team. My decision on colors has finally been made with the main color being black with silver stripping on one set and Black with gold on the other set The support truck done Black with silver and gold stripping and being used with cars from either Dodge or Plymouth teams The trucks are built using the Lindberg Dodge L700 cab and either the AMT Ford LN8000 race car transporter or the AMT C900 delivery box truck, the trailers are the ones used in many AMT truck or van/trailer combo with race car or sold as their service trailer a while back      |

Good job on building these. I've never built a truck. I have several just haven't built one yet. You built these from scratch too if I remember right.

I did some scratch building when I lengthened the transporter beds and adapted the cabs Tonight I boxed the tongues on the trailers using treadplate on the top The original height of the tongue was too loo so I moved it up which made my boxing fit perfect    |

Tonight I finished boxing the tongues on all the trailers and making the chain or strap compartment I also repaired the broken tongue on the project trailer which was the reason I boxed the others  |

DeeCee,the paint made it on that trailer last week after I just said fork it and decided black was the base color with the metallics as the contrasting color and went to spraying New side panels for the resto trailer are on replacing the old ones that had the broken tire rack firmly glued to it. I'll put a new tire rack probably after I post this   Been cleaning and sanding a little  |

I've built a couple of trailers from kits but I don't know how to scratch build one like you do. You do it very well too.

I've built a couple of trailers from kits but I don't know how to scratch build one like you do. You do it very well too. BigD they are kits that were made by AMT that came in a bunch of race car combo kits that had either a 53' Ford F100 or a Chevy van. They were also sold separate as a service trailer sold in the BluePrinter series  I relocate the tongue higher and box it to make it stronger and look more realistic |

Okay, I didn't know about these. The kits I put together were those Testor trailer kits. Easy to build but a nice trailer anyway.

Thanks Guys! I glued the axles back on the resto trailer and put the runners back on it a few minutes ago. Last minute color change for number 5 trailer which will be black and gold and will be used with my Dodge Warlocks These four will not only be used with the transporters and box truck but with most of my other Dodge trucks and racecars as well I'll be ordering treadplate for the centers of the trailers very soon to finish them    |

I have most of the chassis for them built and painted except for a standard one and my tubbed one
Engines are almost all completed and most of the bodies being used are in first prime and partially sanded
I got 8 Dodge trucks through paint stage last winter
They need bumpers and grilles put in them and wrecker bed to finish
