Whew...it was a fairly long day today. Close to 400 mi. of driving, loaded the trailer, unloaded it, and pressure washed it. I'm so glad it was a solid trailer as they used hat channels and it's skinned both on the exterior and interior with aluminum as the truck driver was doing like 75 on I-5 with it. This one is going to take a lot of work, has a crack in the tongue, a load of rivets on the roof are missing.
All in all, it's a decent carcass to build I believe. I'm so glad we didn't have any issues while transporting it. Big thanks to my neighbors who both helped out and were able to organize the whole towing trip for not much more than a substantial tip to the truck driver. Also a major thanks to Donn and Donna for letting me know about this trailer from the get go! I was amazed on how light this one is. Maybe 50# tongue weight. The whole thing is probably under 1K right now as it sits. It is missing most of it's interior however. Next step, get someone from the CHP to come out and verify the VIN on it and then I can start cutting off the tongue and reworking it. Thanks for watching. Doug
