Well I decided to assemble the Scania just to see how it looks. I will have to disassemble some for the rest of the LED's, speed control, radio/receiver, and a few things to be finished. But basically it's done. Took some outside pic's, and I hope you enjoy.













Thanx for looking, Big John

OK boys and girls, I have some updates. Got the LED's hooked up, and I added the original sound unit. With that and the electrical unit I had no room for the interior. So I blacked out the windows which I hated to do. But what can ya do? The MFCU takes up less room than these two units believe it or not. Here are some pic's.









Here is a short video of the headlights as what they do.



And for those of you who isn't familiar with the tri-axle reefer, here is a couple of pic's of the frame going together.





And one more thing, I'm swapping out the S/S's for dual wheels and tires. I will be painting the wheels white with blue on the centers to match everything up.



Thanx for looking, Big John

I'll answer both of you at once......I don't want to let anymore out of the bag just yet. But I will say the way I picture it in my mind, it's gonna look good. And if things keep going like they are now I should be able to do more updates very soon, maybe even tomorrow. And thank you Dwayne.

Well I got more done on the trailer today and I must say I am loving this trailer. Not only can it be customized into a lot of variations of trailers, but the kit itself is different from any trailers I have built. I got the axles and dual wheels swapped out, and I like the way it looks...Can we say spare parts? Anyhoo here are some pic's.











Thanx for looking, Big John

We are almost ready for paint and something I've been wanting to do. And of coarse add some LED's. Here's a couple of pic's.
