~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
red rear clearance lite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
taping into the extention cord for the side markers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the front clearance lite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
test fitted the tail lites into a scrap of frp
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tail light fit rear ( yep found this one at goodwill )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ever wonder what to do with a burned out sealed tail light? Take your toy grinder and cut out the back and install a new 1157 bulb and if you don't have the handy dandy plug just cut the wires and splice on.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tried my hand at some home made mini casement windows to be installed in the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All in all a good weekends worth of work Had to remove all the driverside trim and door to install the FRP. Installed the 4x9 sheet and cut out the door opening. Then reinstalled the door trim and the door. Router cut the 4x9 sheet to the side profile with the router. Used eye protection this week didn't want another eye problem like 2 weeks ago. I drilled and mounted the clearance lites and wired and soldered all the joints and taped up well to avoid any problems down the road. All 6 marker lights and both tails were finally tested and all work as planned
I cut out the door center for my little tiny home made casement windows. But for lack of some small hinges they would have been installed. The window halo trim is installed and the entire nose FRP is now in place, lacking only an aluminum strip at the bottom to cap it closed. Mother nature teased me into quitting early with a little shower that lasted about 5 minutes longer than it did for me to pick up my toys and put the extra material on top of the trailer to protect it from the rain.
Oh well I needed to do a load of laundry anyway !
