Well according to Google Maps, Wayne NJ, the new home of the NNL East is only 32 miles from Newark NJ. I've flown into Newark years ago. It was a bit run down but maybe they remodeled.

Thanks guy's I am a loss for word's an don't really no what to say. I just love building model car and now Rig's. This hobby is the only thing that keeps me sain and when i need to unwind this is what I love to to. It's my drug. ;D
as for the rims they came from the Jada tow truck i just cut the tire's from the rig to fit the rim cause the tire's they came with where too small and didn't look right.
thanks for looking guy's the trailer is almost done i will show it soon.

Very Sweeeeeeeet. Can't wait to see it with the trailer. THANKS GUY'S...  Im having a Lil problem with the trailer. The problem being is my sparay booth aint to big and the trailer don't fit in there so every time i spray it, it get's alot of lint or dust. So im investing in a bigger booth. The one i have now is 24 tall by 25 wide by 18 deep... The new on will be 30 tal by 40 wide by 24 deep. ;D all i ever had to spray in it was car's and small truck's .. now with building these big rig's i have to upgrade.  Anthony R. |

One of my friend's is an air duct fabricator, and he is the one who made me the first one. I just sent him the dimension's for the bigger one. he uses some nice gage metal and has all the right bending tool's. but after seeing your's the wood one is very nice too. |

And good luck on your build, cant wait to see it. My rig is done just waiting on the bumper's to get back from the platter so i can take some finished pic's of it. The hinges are from model car garage. and the rims are from the Jada 1/24 tow truck. it comes with real small tires , so i had to cut the Pete's tire's to fit so it will look more realistic.

Nice looking setup on the spraybooth. What cfm are your fans rated? You would need some serious fans to draw through an opening that large.

The fan motor is out side it's one of those you use for drying the floor. There is a small hood the size of the filter with a drier vent that the air runs through. I don't like all that noise of the fan when i am painting. plus it just stirs up the air and dust it work's much better like this. ;D |
