Re: Smokey and the Bandit Truck and Trailer Replica

here are some updates of this trailer finished it up but still have to scratchbuild the old school reefer unit and add the rear door hardware ,cut the trailer frame to move the suspension to the rear most positionlike with the real one,using an old chrome truck fuel tank i shortened it abit to use for the reefer fuel tank.i scratchbuilt the rear bumper on this trailer as tamiya trailers do not come with icc bars on the back.got the actual mudflaps made from a guy in the usa .these are the original yellow HOBBS anti -sail flaps just like on the real trailer and i pinstripped it with the gold pinstripe.i will be starting on the Kenworth A-model tractor soon

Re: Smokey and the Bandit Truck and Trailer Replica

Awesome job. From those low angles, you can't tell the difference from the real thing.
