What is the trailer built out of?

[Goodwin3224]

The frame is built out of milled aluminum to look like a boxed frame and when its finished the hopper will be made of sheet aluminum

Oh and i forgot to mention that in that pic everything is just taped or just sitting there waiting for final paint and then to be assembled

[Goodwin3224]

Its still not a whole lot to look at but i have a bit more done and seeing how i take painting really slow it has the first coat of red on it. I still have 5 coats to go then i have to do the suspension air lines king pin lights etc. Also im to figure out how i want to make the trap doors function...tips and hints will be appreciated...thanks for looking
