Then you would just love 80 East until you get into Nevada.  I don't think they've done anything to that stretch over the pass since they laid the first strip of concrete.  We've got the high gas tax and the poorest roads...  guess too many studies as to why our roads are bad and too much money under the table for doing nothing.

Trailer is painted.  Ending up shooting the exterior and fenders with Pure White and  then 4 THICK coats of clear. For the interior rails I painted it with some of that cheap brushon bedliner material.  I had big plans for this trailer but once I saw how poorly it was finished/constructed, I decided to just treat it like a trailer and not go stupid on it. It would have taken a month and a half to get everything straight.  Not worth it.

It's cooking off in shop now and I'll snap some updated pics when I have a chance..

Many thanks to Ian for spending hours out there grinding and rewelding his Pops trailer and doing what they should have done better in the first place.  I feel sorry for him being out of work cuz of the snow and rain but glad that he was able to help me out. ;D

Time to go crash on the couch and try to beat this crud I managed to pick up....I hate winter

Yah Rob, I'd love a nice shiny aluminum one but hang on to your $$$$

This winter can not end soon enough. The kid worked two days this week and then it dumped snow again last night so they had to pull off........   Hmmm, wonder if he'd like to finish the trailer  >:D

Nuthin special to look at.  Here's some pics before Jan carpeted the bunks for me and I painted the axles and leaf springs.  

It's just Duplicolor bedliner on the inside of the rails and then 3 coats of Base Coat Pure White  and 4 coats of Universal Clear.  All SPI stuff.  

I figured lay the clear on thick and I can color sand and buff scratches out till I'm sick of the trailer.

Not hardly, I'm making this stuff up as I go and many thanks to folks here and on other boards to keep me pointed in the right direction.

Also have to give huge thanks to Jet Boat Performance for always being there for me.  Nobody even comes close to customer service that Tommy, Rhonda & Josh provide.

Thanks Greg.  I couldn't be happier.  Wanna find some old Cragar SS wheels for the trailer and that should finish it off.  Isn't it about time that you started a project page of yours???  Times a wastin

One of these days I'll get busy and do just that.  Problem is, I'm not sure where to start...  From the time I picked it up til the day I got it wet, cussing the whole time because of the B.S. that this classic boat has been through or just go from the hull work only.
