ProStar and Featherlite Transporter

[nascar49]

Started work on the ProStar, doing it for a build off at Scale Avenue, plans are to make another race team rig, no driver or team in mind, so its going to be painted boring white . I am going to be starting with the ProStar since the BO last two months, I might start work on the trailer next weekend, just have to get the LHS for the trailers parts( sheet plastic), so lets foucs on the ProStar for now

I will be building another trailer like this one that I built a few years ago

A look into the box

Look at the mock up for the cab

Chassis starting to take shape

And painted some the front/rear axles in satin black, and the bags in flat black

Nice big project - you're going to need plenty of paint!

[nascar49]

Made a little bit of progress on the frame, used different blacks, but its hard to tell

[nascar49]

Started working on the engine, used Tamyia blue for the block, and Model Master Steel on the tranmission

and more work on the chassis


stripped the chrome from fuel tanks and step plates

and how about a mock up

[nascar49]

Little bit more work on the engine

and started working on the trailer, starting with the frame/floor, for the floor, I am using .60 sheet, and I am just using two I-Beams for the frame, not going all out on the frame( I am too lazy for that), just something to attach the wheels/tires to really, and add a little bit of support, dont mind my not so straight cuts
Starting with the rear section of the trailer, cut out for the wheels, I have since the photo, that opening longer

I am pretty sure you all know what I-Beams look like, but I still took a pic of them anyways

and I beam and rear half became one

I have since added the front half and the deck, and started working on the sides (but might be starting over)

[nascar49]

Engine is pretty much done, along with the radiator



And a mock up


Tanks and steps in Alclad Polished Aluminum
And more work on the frame/floor, this time

Started working on the sides, this is the rear section, using .20, but not real happy about that, so I may see if some of the other LHS have .30 in stock , so I am sort of at a stand still right

Ambitious project, looking great!

just dunno why sometimes forum works such way.
This is a very interesting (and hard to make) project. Why only one star (read terrible) rated?.
to me it is great, and also the parts shown till now are really welldone. Keep on postin.
