This is impressive work and I like wood as the medium. Fantastic so far!

What about a varnish or a stain? Just an idea, but it would show more of the wood and grain than paint.

I took a trip to Lee's Summit MO today and passed what looked to be an old wilson trailer sales lot or maybe a manufacturing building. It had Wilson Trailers on the sign and had a lot of older trailers (mostly van body) sitting out front. I was just off of I70, danged if I remember were though.

Just did a google search of Wilson Trailers and they have a sales lot on I70 in Columbia MO.

Thats pretty cool they make the livestock trailers down the road from me in Yankton SD and grain trailers are made in Lenox SD..

Ok got most of the detail done on the nose of the trailer. Ribs and tire rack and Porch Light.. The Porch Light is are family farm are brand "7L" has been registered for almost 100 years..




Got some left on the rear I have the light panel and mud flaps and ICC Bar also the rear door too..



Thanks Much Enjoy

Thanks Much Dave I have had this idea for sometime but my oldest son too the horse my the reigns and made it happen.. I am going to go with the Barn Red color with the whit roof and tail end like they painted most of them they also came in a light blue and white but not so poplar was that combo..


So I got a little time today and got most of the back finished on mine..

I made the rear light panel and bumper and also the roll up door..





Tristin has also been building one for a member on the board "GUN" here is his trailer.


The sides come off for ease of wiring and painting..

Rear section


If there is enuff interest this is the state we will be finishing them to, to sell all you will have to do is add a few detils if you choose and put running gear on it and paint it..

Now GUN asked us to finish his all the way we can do that too for extra we will see..

I guess if there is not enuff interest then these will be the only 2 we make..

Thanks For looking..

How are you doing the roll up door? I learned a trick a while ago watching Norm Abrams build a roll top desk. He cut all the individual pieces and then glued them to a piece of canvas.

These are sweet trailers. I bet you'll get enough interest to crank out at least a handful more. Not so different from the old stock cars that used to haul cattle on the railroads, back in the 60s and 70s. The construction is really close to that, and they used to use wood too.

Just looking at the shelves in the back ground, I have to ask - how many trucks do you own now? It looks like you have one for ever member on this forum!

Thanks Mazda.. I do it about the same way you seen on TV I cut the strips and use a square to hold them in line and then I use Heating duct foil tape to hold it like I did on my alum bull rack works great..

Yeah Nate you are right they are very close in build and there has not been any interest but Gun witch I was surprised but who knows Tristin wants to make some extra money for collage. I have my self a little Rc addiction I am at 23 built trucks and about that many trailers too..
