Finished the reefer trailer transformation. Lots of hours went into this build. Heres a link to my FB page to find some of the accessories on this trailer as well as other items for sale. Enjoy the video! / westernsharpies.scalea...
It is for me a fabulous job and done with perfection. This trailer is perfect, I also admire the work on the rear doors with the really very realistic locking latches. And as soon as you open the doors we can hear the fan which gives even more realism. This trailer deserves to be in a showroom, and it would have been successful for sure. Bravo 👌
That is such a nice comment Pascal, it means a lot coming from you. I started watching your channel and learning from your builds when I was still trying to glue popsicle sticks together! I'm very happy with this trailer, I spent many hours on it.... c'est beau!! Hopefully I can take it to some shows and share it with other people in the future. 👍
@@westernsharpie My compliments are deserved, I know the time it takes for this kind of work, and it is really splendid what you did. I hope you can go to shows on the trucks, I'm sure your trailer will be a huge success. And I can't wait to see this new project that you talked about 😉
Absolutely love this! It now looks like a true North American trailer. Are you thinking of adding the flaring on the sides? Not sure what they are called but I think they were added for fuel efficiency and I think to help stop cars etc from going under the trailers.
Thanks Freddy, they're called freight wings, I'm not too sure about adding them, still on the fence. I'll make one up quick and see what it looks like. 👍
@@westernsharpie Another term I now know! Ok, makes sense...part of me thinks they'll look cool as you see them more often than not now. But I guess they might be finicky to make.
@@FastFreddyRC Thats true lots of newer trailers have them. Shouldn't be too hard to make, a 2mm piece of styrene sheet would work good, then cut the angles and make a couple of braces on the inside. I can't wait to build another trailer and connect it to this one with a dolly trailer. I have two flatbeds still to build and an intercontinental express. I really would like a pair of tankers and that'll be it for trailers........(I think). Look forward to seeing your tanker when its done.
@@westernsharpie the intercontinental trailer is the one I'll get next..but I'll definitely be waiting to see what you do with it. It needs to look like a true north american trailer so for me I wouldn't be installing the fenders. But I'll be looking forward to seeing what you do with it and then I might have to hit you up for some parts :)
@@FastFreddyRC I think i'll like it more than the deep freeze for a reasons, the axles and wheels are already North American, so no need to change axles, wheels, tires. Also I really like the corrugated sides. Looks a lot more retro. I think when I build mine, I might weather it a bit, like its from the 70's or 80's
Thanks, i'm in a part of the country where there's not much going on, but I hope in time I can take it to some kinda of fair, or show. That would be nice. I think folks would get a kick outta seeing it. 👍
