5x10 Squaredrop build

[italianub]

Another update (finally). More poor weather, and then getting married has delayed the build quite a bit, but we're back!

Finishing up the floor, welding the fender mounts, building the template and starting on the walls is where I'm at now. I've decided to go with smaller tires, so those are now ordered, hoping to have them installed by late next week once they get here (needed to get new brakes as well, since the bolt pattern on the existing ones is for larger tires). The galley will just be too high up using these existing tires for comfortable food prep, so dropping it down about 3 inches will certainly help.. though it will still be high up, this'll have to do!

Feel free to check out the video and/or view some pictures below!

Two updates since my last one! Had a BIG oopsie, I hope my fix works so I don't need to spend $300 on more BB 5x10 plywood

Looking good.

Would you mind sharing info on the jig you used for drilling the shelf support holes?

Thanks

Thanks! Here's the jig on their website, they do have different sized pin holes I believe.
