Doctor's Inn

Postby DoctahDeane » Sun Sep 01, 2013 2:34 pm

At the urging of other forum members, finally getting around to starting a build journal. Thanks to all for the great help so far.

Details: using a Northern Tools 5x8 trailer assembly, intend to bump wheels to 13 or 14". Have purchased both Kuffle Creek and Fredericks' manuals. And away we go...

Trailer arrived:

Nick helping with a few strategic spot welds before platform gets finished off:

Platform insulated and sandwiched, ready to be fiberglassed or undercoated (leaning to marine fiberglass):

Thanks everyone. Undercoating next few days and hoping to have platform attached as soon as things dry. Considering profiles, really like the rounded Modernistic Wyoming Woody (Ryan) type but need input from my better half and dog.

One more coat tomorrow, then it'll be time to attach to the trailer
