Trailer looks great have always love the shine look on the trailers nothing beat the chrome look.

here is updated pics of the tractor optimus.extended the chassis 3" to accomodate the storage boxes and the reefer unit for the turning radius of the trailer

here are the rear fenders finished with the detail work incuding the ridge that follows the lines of the fender

[1985 kenworth]

here are the rear doors for the transformers reefer trailer.i wanted the small square angled tile look for the rear doors that you normally see on the trailers so i used evergreen styrene to get that look now i just need to chrome them

not sure whether to use bare metal foil or go for that chroming paint i saw in another section on here.there is a shop close to me that does it apparently its a 3 step process and they can chrome anything from wood to plastic to metal etc

i'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for me to make double j headlight brackets for this build .i am stumped on the best way to go about it .i am using the double round headlights from pmd but the bracket that is attached to these ones are the wrong ones i need for this particular build ...any suggestions ...anyone?

Looks like you did a fantastic job on the rear fenders blending the tail lights. If you give Ric a call, he might be able to help you out. But it may be a few days until you can get hold of him...he's probably still getting situated after the Indy show.

Dwayne...the perfect brackets are are the j brackets on pmd's single rounds ..you can take the single round off there then drill through the bottom of the bracket and into your double rounds and a little screw will work perfect..that's what I did on my roll off..I used the lights off the roll bar on the f350 high lift to give it the bigger headlight look like from a 32 ford ..it's a shame to take singles off but they are perfect...
