Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
What I have so far. I will have the deck finished hopefully by the Brookville meet. I'm kinda at a stand still. But this is what i got so far. I'm mostly waiting on more LED's to finish the trailer. I got a few other things to do before hand and then I'll just finish the deck.
thanks for looking and make sure to check back for the finish.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Looks nice. Can't really tell it's a custom length trailer. The rails look factory.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Q's - are those aluminum rails down the middle and over the framing? if so that's a nice look. And The one piecew rails look good - are they formed or cut from extrusion stock?

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Stock Rails. Hope you like the pictures. I was gonna wait to do the lights. But I remembered that the piece down the middle can be removed for access. Thanks for taking the time to look. John Corbett.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Thank Chris. Aluminum down the middle and there is two on the outter edges. Aluminum rails on the side are 1/2" L Aluminum. Chassis Rails are from 1 1/2" L aluminum cut out with Plasma cutter. Hope that answers your questions.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Thanks. I never realized the amount of time and planning it takes to build a trailer of this size. But I'm getting better with each one.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Hey man this trailer looks good, especially the aluminum inserts in the deck. Looks like a 1:1 with that little added touch. If an when you are approved as a vendor this is something I really need, you got my order.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Looks great with all the planking on! I like that you kept the center of the bed metal. Most guys plank the whole thing. Cheers.

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
A further question - is the wood planks the same Tamiya ones? did you inter lace the ends? Or did you find a more suitable substitute?
Thanks |

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Wood is same as Tamiya. I have used a harder wood for a hobby store near me but I used what I had. Inter lace the ends? I don't understand what you mean there. Thanks for the inquire.

"Inter lace the ends?"
John , he means not have all your butt joints in line with each other . interlaced much like your flooring the truck is sitting on

Re: Extended Flatbed Trailer Build
Thanks Steve.
Yes they are inter laced. Two long ones from front, then long ones from back then I fill in the gaps. Just like hard wood flooring. I'm not sure if it looks ok or not but it was the best I could think of to go with the Aluminum as planks too.
