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.

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.

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.

Can't wait Matt!

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.

Matt theY look good - I'm impressed - a nice bit of detail

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

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.

Sounds good, those guys are very lucky to have something like this!

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.

Here is where they are now. I hope to have them on their own by Friday. Paint Saturday maybe. Cross my fingers.

These trailers are really coming along, Zimms do you make reefer trailers?

Yes, I make reefers. I am working on the mold right now for the Thermo King reefer unit.

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.

Here are some finished pics, I have it for sale in the Buy/Sell section.

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.
