Default first build in a looong time first simi

I finally pulled the trigger and bought a king hauler Icouldn't make up my mind globe or king was I going to build a straight dump truck or tractor trailer
still a little up in the air I really would like to do a side dump or belly but might be a little bit out of my comfort zone on the first build I may just build a kit end dump trailer
the one thing I do know is that I want to stretch it not sure how long ordered blank frame rails 36 in.
any and all thoughts and suggestions welcome should get the kit on the 23rd :
anyone know where to find pre cut trailer frame rails to scale?

Welcome to the site. Home depot has a pretty good selection of aluminum and with basic tools you can build something pretty nice! Styrene can also be very strong. Running gear isn't too hard to build up yourself with a bit of creativity. Looking forward to see what you come up with.
