murphy's law states the weekend will have the worst weather, today was no exception, it $nowed. got the door area skin cut out for both sides.
an eight foot alluminum ruler comes in mighty handy for the curves. next i trial fit one side.
notice at the top right where the framing sticks out, yes that will have to be cut off.
i am glad this is six inches wider than original, but it still look small in there. next i glued and stapled the skin on twice. note start on the bottom and get it straight before stapling. once the bottom is stapled on break out a board and c-clamps, and clamp the $%&*()$# on, trust me. when i finished it was too dark for pictures.
a delivery was made from harbor freight one 40 * 48 trailer. looks like mikes fender treatment will work, or do i narrow the axle and conceal the 8" tires completely? i will think about this.
next a question for any fiberglass experts. the skin on this trailer is eighth inch ply, and i need to build up the door. could i glue one (or two) more layers of the same ply to the inside, or do i just build with fiber glass? i know i will have to build some kind of frame work for the door before i cut it free. plan on sealing it similar to the way steve did in his manual.
and finally any ideas on u.f.o. style door handles.
