I would bet that you can sand most of it off and use a pic to get the rest off out of the cracks. I would definitely get it out of there. I knew better and used it anyway thinking I did not need much filler and it would be thin well I was wrong I now have a nice truck with a great paint job and an ugly ring where I filled in a sun roof window.

I 100% recommend the EVER COAT Polly Flex there is nothing that even comes close to this stuff.

thanks where do you get that stuff from...a lhs or home improvement store?

[MoRockN]

^^ Auto part store is where you'll find it.

[1985 kenworth]

thanks i will check into that

[Goose19]

is that the stick on stuff i see at some (select) truckstops?

nice looking trailer!

and you can get evercoat stuff up here at napa usually, carquest has a different brand i have used on my 1:1 pickup years ago, it worked good but the evercoat worked better.

rage gold also works great for body filler

[td9clyde]

had to make new brackets for the muflaps .i will be changing the white ones to black mudflaps will have more updated pics later of the trailer then on to the tractor..thank you for looking

[BRICKNICK]

The trailer looks great, them tandems are slide way far forward huh? Is that the look your going for? This trailer is really coming out great. Nice job.

[1985 kenworth]

it sure is bricknick i am stubborn for details and if you google optimus prime trailer you will see that the bogies are slid up with a nice little overhang thanks for the compliments i will have a few more updated pics soon hopefully with my decals applied

[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:

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.

[1985 kenworth]

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
