What a bitch using clamps to secure and bend everything!!!!

The tubing is 1 3/4" tube. Couldnt beat the price of that dimond plate at 5 bucks a piece. Now its starting to get heavy :(

Yes heavy, but for your intended usage it is weight in the right place. Rugged piece you have there. :thumbsup:

Are you planning to add an angled nerf bar tying the lower front edge of the front of the fender back into the main frame rail? :thinking:

Yeah I am going to have a slider come off the front of the trailer to front of the fender. I am waiting till I have the sides on and a door. Dont want the slider to be a huge hinderance trying to get in and out.

I'm not sure if anybody has noticed but your garage is unbelievably clean! When I do a project like that there is stuff everywhere. :oops:
You're progressing really quickly too. Awesome Job!!! :applause:

I can't see from the angle of the pic's if you added those fender nerfs before paint. Just curious. :thinking:
