King Hauler Two Tone
 
Hi Everyone. Almost finished my King. Got an idea to do a two tone. Looks ok on the passenger side but the drivers side I didn't line up the masking right and missed a few spots around the fender. Didn't notice til I pulled off the tape. Was gonna clear coat it too, but I'm not happy with it. Instead of wasting a can of clear coat I'll get another body and try again.

Paint is Flame Red and Dark Cherry Pearl. The Dark Cherry Pearl is a neat color with the right light and in person.
I'll be working on my trailers next and posting some pics so don't forget to check back.

Thank you. If I get alot of good comments, maybe I'll just touch it up and clear coat it. The cherry Pearl looks really nice in person. Pictures don't do it justice. It was taken with my Cell phone.

I really like the two-tone, very sharp.:D Now I also think if you just touch up the paint, clear coat, you'll be good to go.:);)

Got some aluminum to stretch my trailer. While I'm waiting on some parts I decided to finish one of them so I could pull my 2 year old around the house. But this is what I have so far. Seems the trailer itself will be as long as a stock King Hauler AND flatbed trailer. Lol! Luckily we have a plasma cutter at the shop so I have cutting to do before I install the new chassis frames. Got a good start to be done for the March meet. Hope you guys like the pics.

is it just me or does this truck have some of Freddy's look to it ? ( no visor ) lol but the truck looks sharp!!

Um. . . . . Not sure but you can blame Rod for the (No Visor). I'm patiently awaiting his polished visor. So I figured it would be best not to do anything in that area yet.

Slowly but surely my King Hauler is taking shape. Had a order for LED's and the company messed up and sent me half of what I ordered. Next will be trailer parking lights.

Truck looks great and you did a great job extending the trailer out from its original length..

I love the two tone on it! Looks sharp. How long is your flat bed now? The one I got behind my globe is 43" looks about the same length as yours. Love the way they turned out!
