Meanwhile we started on the new trailer. As you can see, it has a little rust. You can pretty much push through with fingers along any point on the frame.
Cut the top bunks off & getting ready to weld on some guides.
Guides going on
New C-channel rails clamped to be temporarily tacked.
Tomorrow we plan to start the front bend of the trailer. I now have all my measurements for new torsion axles order. Everything else for the trailer is pretty much all purchased (except wood bunks & carpet).
Unfortunately i will miss the Shootout next weekend, but i am hoping we will me making more progress on the trailer to take my mind off it.

Vince must have known i was needing a boat fix after watching the Shootout this weekend, so he sent my some hatch progress pics
He is going to call this afternoon to go over the front air intake cutouts one last time before starting them. He thinks will be gelling it all later in week.

Who wants more hatch pics? Alright then...
Vince called me Mon night & said he wanted to do something different for the inlets that he thought would look trick. He wanted to go rectangular openings & have the mesh screens fasten from behind where the front is all flush. So i said lets do it.
I think it looks fantastic & so much nicer than what i had before. Should be able to pick it & my deck hatches (he was doing some rehab work on them too) in next 2-3 weeks.
Until then, it is more trailer work. Showing the pics of ZP's trailer build to my buddy so he can see what i expect the finish product to look like.
Axles should be delivered next week, everything is onsite, so just a matter of more cutting & welding.
