Anything to do with mechanical, construction etc

Didn't even think about that...
I'll give 'em a shout, but I got my doubts now that the heyday of chip trailers is a local fading memory... I found some 72" x 144" online, but it's an 1/8" thick. :lol:

I know you can get 103" .040 off a coil in Sac from Fruehauf...I'm going to get some for mine...and if anyone else in NorCal is building a 4 footer...I'm going to have probably 15 feet of drop I'll make a deal with you on....Doug

Thanks Herb :D , I installed the doors and windows the past two days. I've decided to chrome the fenders as a new plating company is opening up in three weeks and will do both for $180. They advertise to be the first environmentally friendly plating company in the state. Tomorrow I work on the clearance lights and start doing the trailer wiring for tail lights etc. Danny

Looks great, halfdome. :envious:
Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Thanks Chris, 8) I still have lots to do yet. The interior needs doors, lights installed and the galley cabinets are still in the planning stage. Danny

Danny,

I have to agree, you did a beautiful job on that... :beautiful:

I'm hoping too, that you sort out your album issues so that we can put you in the Hall of Fame!
