Thanks, I also took out the back panels, cleaned them up and sprayed them with Dupli-Color coating. Good enough for a trailer, I think. It sure does look and feel way better now than when I was at Carlisle, on the inside anyway.

Hmmm... Think about a pickup truck bed turned into a trailer. I was looking at one almost every weekend for a time. It was next to my friends shop and in bad shape, but it gave me the idea.

Then I saw something like this on the inter-net...

Not yet. After the crash at the Growler, I kind of changed plans. I will now paint the car and trailer together. So it may be a time before I get to paint.

Hey Dave.  Any progress on the dent removal and trailer....???

A little bit, I have been getting parts together and restoring some. I did get a much nicer rear bumper for the trailer. Most of what I have been doing for a wile now is for the car. I did weld the spare tire mount together, but I still got to weld it to the trailer... :faint:

As far as dent removal goes, the new goodmark fender, rechromed bumper and reconditioned headlight bezels have taken care of that.

Thanks Topcat options can come later, but I am thinking some kind of audio system would be nice. Another option is trailer brakes, that would make installing a battery and an electrical system needed. A stereo could be run from that battery.

But that can all come later, now I just want to finish. I wanted to paint the car and trailer together, but since this sits outside it had to get some paint on it.
