Well tonight I raised the step portion (back) of the trailer 4 inches. Next step is to fabricate the fenders and get them welded on. Once the fenders are on I can start shaping the body. I will keep the progress posted.

ok some progress. Fenders are on just waiting for the body sides to come back from the fabricator. I could not bend that long of sheet in my brake sorather then cutting and welding I spent the money to have it done with a press brake

These are the fenders before install. I made them from .060 instead of 1/8 I was able to bend them on my brake then TIG welded the miters.
