I figured if we polish first, then I have to handle very carefully as I wire it? That's why I thought, wire it while its in a raw stage and then polish? Never done this and would love any input or suggestions on how to approach.

Thanks Nathan. We both love it! You know the old saying....happy wife, happy life !
Or as Phil Robertson would say....." Everybody's happy, happy, happy " lol

Sorry dude, Clifford is quite a ways from Wisconsin It is about 2 hrs northwest of Toronto which means you have to go all the way around Lake Michigan and back up north.
It would be great if you could attend but that's quite a trip for a one day event Hope you plan on making it to the Indy show in August. It would be a pleasure meeting

Thanks Craig. I can say without a doubt, I have loved every minute of this build, this hobby, and all the friends and fun that come with it.

Once this is done, my next project arrived today.... A crawler crane with clam bucket. . Ohh, and I still have 3 other trailers that need lights! ....can't wait to open up my shop in the garage soon!

I had my cattle trailer polished first then layed it on towels and rags and wired it. I didn't touch the outside. Usually just grabbed it by the little tabs on the inside or by the back bumper and the kingpin plate . Hope this helps

But I'm sure that I've got a few more lights on it my trailer than urs . Urs might be easier to polish than mine

Thanks Keith. It does help. The one problem with my idea of polish after lights are installed is the light holes may fill up with polishing paste and then be a real nightmare to clean them out
I'm going to take your advice and polish, then wire.....I learned a lot from dealing with the cab on Sues truck, I can do this the same.

Thanks man.

Mario
