My Fontaine Flatbed
 
Ive always loved the Fontaine Line of Trailers so I figured, what the **** since im waiting on parts to finish my Pete Build I might as well get going on the trailer I will be pulling.... I am going to be as scale and precise as possible including having the Bow in the Bed like real flatbeds do on an empty load. SHe will be done with a mix of styrene, wood, and aluminum. This is what i have so far....

sure bud, styrene is a mix between .60 and .80 and wheels got from Semi Joe, but they are from RC4wd and can get them here as well http://store.rc4wd.com/Diesel-Rear-S...-2_p_1847.html
