Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
When I make them functional for my Coronado, I will use a small pump for them. I am using them as they are, I will post some pics as soon as I get some put together. I will share how I did them too, nothing to hide here.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Here is what they look like. I had to caliper boots, cut em down, and glue em together. I still need to put caps on both ends and a spring in the middle.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
I am working on applying the oak veneer for the bed of the trailer. It is a slow and tedious process ironing this on, but I have learned some tricks of the trade.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Here is the progression of getting the frame rails to the trailer bed. I also have the oak decking on, just need to iron it on to get it to stick. I have one of them done, and it sticks really well.

Sweet! Will you be selling these? Or keeping them? I would keep 'em, just curious!

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Keeping one, selling the other two. One of them will be going to Germany when it is done. The other will be sold with the Mack that is in some previous pics.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Thanks Izzy, that means a lot coming from you. The trailer I am keeping for myself will be highly detailed. This way people can choose the amount of detail they want, the price will then be reflected upon the amount of detail.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Here is where they are now. I hope to have them on their own by Friday. Paint Saturday maybe. Cross my fingers.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Yes, I make reefers. I am working on the mold right now for the Thermo King reefer unit.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Got one of them painted. This will be the trailer that will be coupled with the Mack truck to be sold later this week. I will post in in the Buy thread later. I got the driver set up here and his trusty side kick. Made some pallets too, all of which will be available to those who want some.

Re: Zimm's Customs Flatbeds
Looking good I like how you did the coiled wiring to look like the air lines on the 1:1 versions. Keep it up it's inspiring.
