Just to get technical.....alot of reefers need em slid forward to compensate the extra weight of the reefer up front....just sayin!

Looks good.

Did you order leds from pmd?

No I understand that, I just meant the tandems were very far forward almost to far forward to look scale. To me they look a little to far forward in relation to the landing gear. I'm a huge fan of this build so far since I was an owner operator with a utility reefer, not many guys do the custom owner operator looking reefers, especially the stainless wagons or the spread axels.

yea thats true but if you look at the movie trailer the tandems are slid forward so that is the look iam going for i used the tamiya reefer body for the length and the regular box trailer chassis in order to get this effect..thanks for looking and commenting i appreciate it

[1985 kenworth]

also the tamiya trailers are not really to scale so its what i have to work with ,not that far advanced yet to build my own from scratch but i am getting there

Yea man I hear you, I'm not that skilled yet eitger thats why I'm trying to plot out my reefer build still. I must say Tamiya really doesn't make it easy for us American truck fans LOL. Your stainless optimus reefer is looking great, keep it up. I'm dying to see the tractor....

[1985 kenworth]

[SWAGGER]

This looks very movie accurate, well done.

If you want a head start on building the old school trailer, enlarge and print the below:
