Ok I got all the angle bolted to the sides so i made my pan for the trailer out of 1 piece of alum that I broke on my break the pan is .80 Alum.

Next I used frame rails from a Tamiya box trailer and I got them mounted in next then the axles and hardwear and a proto type lift axle for the rear axle

Next I went to work mounting the nose of the trailer. I use 3/4 wide strips to mount the nose flush to the side pannels using 5/16 stainless screws and lock nuts.

[Goose19]

nice trailer TC, amazing work as usual!

where did you get or how did you make the DOT reflective tape? the detail on this thing is amazing.

[Claus]

Are those trailers still being produced or did Izzy kill them?

Thanks Much Goose I have spent alot of time to make it look like a good friend of mines working show trailer he has it will have 256 lights on it when all done plus loading lights in the trailer that will be red and white. I also have cattle sounds down loaded on ly Ipod and 2 very small speakers that i will put in the trailer and run the sound on a loop it is 15mins long so you wont be able to tell it is on a loop.

Are those trailers still being produced or did Izzy kill them?

This is the only one like this there was 2 spread axle trailers built and 2 tandems built and he stopped long before chris started his these are built to be scale Wilison trailers and Chris's are built to be a great trailer kit that looks like a cattle trailer with no brand resemblance.

[Claus]

Very nice trailer Paul, it wasn't trying to insult, I simply thought that Izzy's trailers were priced where M+M couldn't compete, I guess I was wrong and He quit before that.

No problem as i did not take it as a insult it all I was merely explaining how many he did before he went under and the difference between them..

[Claus]

Must be kind of cool to own such a one of a kind.

[Tamiya Cowboy]

I was pretty happy it took me years to get someone to do the sides for me and to get it the way i wanted it for the most part was great..
