Perhaps if you had made the tool, then you could have had a small sideline business punching out a few thousand of these foam circles.

Don't know, weather is not cooperating to get my work done as soon as I had hoped.

I guess that's a possibility. The only trouble I see would be trying to make foams for every different size tire(lot of tooling).

Too bad about the weather, I guess if it holds you up too long then you won't make it to the coast?...or maybe you'll be out in July for the show?

Hmmm. It's some sort of packaging foam that I got from the local Princess Auto. They sometimes have it in laminated sheets two layers thick but they only had the single layer stuff the other day. We use it on the fish boat for ice blankets to keep the ice cold for longer but it turns out that it makes good tire foams for heavy vehicles. I'm gonna buy some more in case they never have it again. Wonder what it would cost to ship some to you and what customs would say?

Reg you have done a great job with the truck and trailer the only thing you need is a little smoke coming out the stacks that is the only thing missing. Keep up the good work and have a good day today and a better one tomorrow. Ed

Finished model looks great Reg thats an impressive load most of that wood looks solid, is your front door big enough so you can drive it loaded straight to your fireplace?
