went the nurf bar way on the bumpers will double for flag pole holders. i think i will also make a stand to fit in the holes to hold a cooler if you don't want to pull the trailer or use them both.

 refabed the tralier hitch up about 4" for clearance and to keep the trailer level. i think the body will come off again tomorrow to finish up the body work and drill the hole for the bumper brackets. thinking about having all this chromed but funds may not allow it.


no air in the shocks right now so it will have a little more ground clearence.


my orbs love me look at the faces in the 2 biggest ones. i don't think their smiling! they must not like my work.

Lookin Better all the Time.
The mold may not be a bad idea.it wold mold trunk and in sets all in on shot less work and no fab time , and you can still customize each one.and i hear you on the getting old part.

i'd still have to fab the inside of the trunk seperately and mold it in but it would still be quicker. but it wouldn't be steel.

or what the buyer would like. if i make a mold i can either do the fiberglass which would be cheaper or a steel body. we'll see. if i get in a hurry again there want be a mold. i already have someone interested in this one. it's going to be hard to let it go and i may not.
