Found the worst project ever and at a bad time, Shoulder level or higher with the arms! Took me a while to find an answer to part of my problem.
The monkey on a stick and a scrap of stainless from a plumbing job in a brewery held the front radius alone. Many, Many :beer: s
May this piece please stay in place forever :worship:

I did a lot of searching for a chuck box, and am just starting to gather the things I want to put in it.
I have not seen anything done that's removable in any flatbacks or cargo trailers; If you have done it,
have any good ideas or suggestions please chime in.
While I clean up a (lot) in prep to get started again.

Spare tire plan its resting on the bumper bolting through 1.5" tubing with 2" of foam give room for a 1/2" of something then through the inside wall some time in the future after paint :NC

Skim coat of Caulk, because it doesn't stink & I don't have to mix it,
I read 180 grit; I like 80, that's for the poly / paint! First time :shocked:
(Caulking) Never found a great place that made picking one eazy.
So far I like this one but I sure thought that more then ten times :worship:

Are you using caulking as a fairing compound, what kind of caulking is that?
Or I missed something...
