Finished the Frame Stretch-The accelerated Welding Method

Postby Bandit » Sat Feb 18, 2006 10:58 pm

I've finished the stretch of the frame, add leveling jacks and a receiver on the tail for my bike rack.
I've also finished painting the underside of the frame.
My axle should be in next Friday or the following Monday.
As soon as I mount the axle, I'll be done with the metal and start working in wood.

On My Way!!!!
Haven't been able to get the wife excited about the build. Maybe when it starts to look like something!

Don't sweat it I had the same problem, I found they generally get excited when it's time to pack. Or when you ask for more money. 8) 8) 8) :lol:

Hmmmmm, that Screamin' Chicken looks familiar :thumbsup:

BTW, nice job on the frame. It looks like you could haul a tank on it.

Do what I did, take her to a campout/gathering. After she meets everybody and sees their excitement, she will get infected too.

I didn't have any problem getting my wife interested at all, as matter fact she is right out there with me helping me build and is a big help also. Judy has done almost all of the insulation herself except for the top.


Bandit, you got one good looking trailer there and shouldn't have any problems with it at all. By the way, where did you get your jacks from, if you don't mind me asking?
I started out with nothing and I still got plenty left.

I got them from JC Whitney, they were $59.99. They are meant to be bolt ons, but I cut the tabs off and welded them on.
