WOW! Its looking bad a$$ love your side lights! where did you find those lens?

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

:) thank you bud I'm humbled

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Thanks bro, and honestly I don't remember I've had them forever I know they came with one of my many kits just don't remember which one lol... I believe it may have been from an axial kit..

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Sweet looking trailer!

Is it just me or have you switched the rear suspension around?

Are there any springs or just the ones in the shocks?

Stu

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

yup was switched around, and i have springs in the shocks and will be adding the brake reservoirs and air bags

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Nice looking wagon. Did you use your printer to make the lenses?

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Looks great, nice detail on the lights and decal..

The lenses look like axial lightheads. They look great on the trailer!

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Awesome work, just when I think your done and it can't get any better.....it does.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Yes indeed, the lights & how you mounted them is very nicely done. :cool:

Good to see you posting your work on here, when's your Peterbilt thread with all your homegrown ingenuity gonna start?

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

thank you my friend

lol i appreciate it bud, but you aint seen nothing yet, stay tuned i got a little something up my sleeve... notice i havent put up any pics of the rear bumper.... ;) just stay tuned...

thank you bro, and that thread will be up soon, just finishing up a print now for my custom air ride ive been working on... stay tuned should be this week

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

wow keeps getting better!

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Outstanding flatbed.:jaw:

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Very nice update! I like the lights as well. Did you paint the outside, or the inside of the lenses, and what kind of paint did you use for that?

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

thank you bud i painted the outside, and i mixed the paint myself, i paint real cars, bikes, trucks for a living next to this hobby and tattooing so i do a lot of my own paint mixtures and such.... 1/7 parts ratio... get the color you want and mix it with 7 parts clear to get the translucency, ratio can be more or less depending how translucent you want it and what type of paint you are diluting

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Thanks for the tip! That might come in handy for me someday.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

anytime bud!

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Any finished pictures yet???


Wayne

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

the "missing link" just got here literally 5 mins ago via fed ex so ill have more pics up tonight, but those will be the last until I finish the "missing" link and put all pics up at once by the end of the week.... stay tuned:)

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Still waiting on some parts such as Lights and bezels from Russ and other items, but I figured it wouldn't be fair to keep you guys waiting so without further ado here is the trailer and the "finishing touch" at 95% completion... I really like the way its come so far..

I finaly got around to doing a conversion ive been wanting to do for a LONG time... Still waiting on some more items so I can properly chain her up to the flatbed, etc

CUstom RC Moffett Forklift, Started like this and ended up....

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Safe to say this is the most amazing trailer build I've ever seen!
I think next month might be the first time a trailer gets nominated for build of the month???:D
Your talents and attention to detail are top notch Brian, can't wait to see what's next:bounce:

Mario

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Trailer looks great.. Like addiction of the fork lift..


Wayne

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Very nice trailer build, great detail! Didn't see the forklift coming, that just put it over the top!

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

You sir are a machine great job on everything!! Now hurry up and make a truck to tote this thing:D

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

thank you good sir
WOW, I appreciate the kind words brother, im humbled, and if trailers could compete in build of the month im there! :) Also thank you very much for those boxes they look great on the trailer.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

I like it your flatbed very much!!!

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

your attention to detail is fantastic

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Very nice .....there he goes again knocking it outta the park.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Very nice! As soon as I saw the pockets in the rear bumper and ICC bar, I figured you were going to add a forklift to it! That's awesome. I agree. This trailer is worthy of being a build of the month entry.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

That thing is very nice But how do you get anything done on that clean work bench lol.
I need to start using styrene, I have used it in the past but not in a long time

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Thank You bud.

Re: My Fontaine Flatbed
 

Beautiful Trailer, I wish that I had the patience to that kind of detail. Nice work!
