Wow. Great job.

I literally laughed at loud at this reply!

Wow. Looks great.

It was definitely close. I ended up buying a '00 7.3 F250 over the weekend a Class V hitch. That gave me some additional clearance. I got 'er pretty sideways and didn't get within 6" of the box, so I don't foresee any issues. I love the box truck, but it's a '77 model with a box stock crate...

Yessir. That is exactly what I did. I use the angle where possible and flat along the bottom. For every rivet hole and lap edge(along with the trim, I sealed with silicone. I went a little overboard with it to be honest. I have each piece about 3" of overlap so I could make sure it was water...

Looks like that will handle some serious laundry weight lol. Looks good!

Pretty much! It gets a whopping 6mpg anyway. Can it get worse?!

Thanks guys. I tow typically between 100-150 miles round trip to the track. The box is actually about 1 foot shorter than my box truck I haul with, so I don't expect the impact to be much. I'm still under total height of a typical enclosed trailer. TS3g It definitely is. The only thing I ever...

Thank you. I don't know about looking professional lol. But I did learn a ton of what to do/not to do if I ever take it on again. I wish I had bought a 24ft so I could make the box a little bigger. I extended on to the tongue about 5" so I have a place to put my pit lift and hang some from...

And this is where I am today: I plan to finishing painting the trailer black on the sides, and a light gray on the decking to try and minimize heat on top of the decking. Then I will be replacing all of the lighting with LEDs and adding a few flood light above the rear tire door for those...

Thank you.

Sorry. Thought I had it fixed.

Hey guys, I recently decided I wanted to build a better box on the front of my race trailer. Something that was a little more for me and my needs, and something that was more aesthetically pleasing. This is my first attempt at anything like this, and it's far from perfect. But this will get...

Hey guys, I did search to see if I could find anything before posting, but I didn't find anything that helped. I have the Eastwood shrinker/stretcher and was making a piece for my race car last night when all of a sudden it seemed to just quit biting hard enough to shrink the aluminum. These...

That may be. I'll see if I can disable for that site. Thanks!
