THAT'S really great! We've seen the smaller race car hauler but yours is mighty nice. I hope for more fotos and close ups on the rear you're scratching.

Back from paint. What better color for a custom christmas hauler..( you will see)  the painters was at it for 2 day but got the color on the hauler. Last mock up before final assembly begins.. after a wet sanding and dusting. Flat black base was layed down, followed by a custom gold flake, then more heavier colored flake, then candy red. 9 coats of clear was then added to lat down the flake. Flame decals was added from the low rider mustang. Now onto lots of color sanding after more clear on decals, chrome(Lots of it), and aluminum..   This is fun.. Thanks for the challenge and the great gift santa. You have my brain on overload. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

Thanks schwack. I love a challenge.. smileyCASHS601_zps1c54a9c5 Ok guys. here is the final update before completion is upon us. After some color sanding and polishing the clear to lay in the flake. Here is what is coming up..  After a day or so polishing and cleaning out the holes for chrome. It was time to start final assembly. Here is a shot of what came of the challenge for a sweet hauler. Aluminum tubing replaced upper stacks, chrome center caps added to wheels to give a somewhat vintage look, chrome, chrome and more chrome.    Now onto diamond plate. aluminum, and lights... bowdown-right If you are wondering. the car on back is next on list. Stallones cobra mercury.. What better car for the back.. smileyCA9464IN_zpsd9ee499f |

Man this is an excellent build! I really like what you did with it. The paint is looking flawless. Is that dust on top of the sleeper?
