There was alot of trial and error but after reading the forum for a couple years I finally got a Grand Hauler and joined the forum.

sweet looking ride...The color along with the chrome really sets it off. I would not change anything. This truck is a perfect example of Less Is More. Great job...

Thanks everyone. I love it. I would like to install more lights I doubt it will happen though lol. I can't wait to build another trying to talk the wife into getting one for the kids It just isn't going over very well.. I think my next build will be a 331 bottle since that's what I drag behind me all the time.

The paint is radiant red the can says it's by big sky. I got the paint when I bought a truck it's auto paint thought I would give it a try. Hope that helps I've been busy at work haven't had a chance to get on here much lately

I decided to go plastic instead of cutting up a trailer frame hope it works out.
I still have lots of work to do. I think the domed ends will be the hardest part and i need to get some fenders for the trailer.
