Oh I see Izzy, you used a fifth wheel on the bottom of the neck... That works for sure.

The real things have a surprisingly easy attachment method.

The trailer really looks good. Congrats..

Some members with lowboys on this site and another one I'm on had mini chain binders, they look exactly /ukr the real ones. Maybe some one here who is a little more familiar with this hobby can inform you who makes them and where to get them.
