It is very, very impressive.

I think it may be the yellow color that makes it look so big.... :thinking:

After a while you kind of run out of superlatives with what you see in this forum. It looks fantastic Doug.

Wow, with all the excitement over the bread loaf, I'd almost forgotten about this one. What a beauty!

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I spend a lot of time clanking/banging around the garage trying to come up with something that I, and hopefully others will like. It's always nice to hear kind words on a project like this. Doug

I did the trip to DMV today, got a VIN and a title. 18 minutes a big wad of receipts, and $39 for a 5 year PTI plate. I'm thinking, it's heavier than I had planned and am going to swap on some trailer tires rather than the car ones (they are required in Ca anyway). No official weight on it, but I'm guessing 1750. Next stop Fallen Leaf lake up at Tahoe with a group of vintage trailers....can't wait! Doug

Here's the last pics of this build. No build is really complete without it being shown out in the wild and being used. I was concerned as it had a well used axle in it, however the laser thermometer only indicated 75 degrees on the hubs so it's good to go. No spring hop, wiggle, towed just fine. I'm really happy in how this one came out! Thanks for watching the build. Doug
