More trailer progress. Spare tire was relocated to under work bench, the best out of the way spot we could find. Installing the electrical.. lighting is wired up to a cheater cord so we could see what we're doing. Testing out the heat, they will be needing this shortly...

We have two 48 in fixtures on either side of the ECU above bench. 4K LED, and a 24” over the tool box. They had less spec’d and I “interfered” with the order. ;) As someone who has btdt, I appreciate your input, thanks!!

I would paint it after all is rebuilt just before ready to drop in. Scuff everything (factory paint?) well with a scotchbrite pad, and do multiple applications/wipings of wax-grease remover. Then I’d do a sealer coat with SPI epoxy thinned about 10% , let that flash, and spray catalyzed...

yes, thanks for checking on me.. Started the main part of the work bench yesterday, legs 1x1 aluminum, table support 1x2 aluminum tubing, still need to add in a few gussets. Looks like we need the XL version of the workmate.. Here's our layout, the workbench will get a fold up section...

Our pass-through door parts were media blasted and sent for powder coating. The holes we drilled for the door's hinge we had planned on using riv-nuts, but we were a bit too tight to the side wall of the stud. Setting the riv-nut (and the resulting swage) would have pushed it sideways and...

Whilst all this welding, cutting, and grinding are commencing, the 55 is covered up. We don’t have any spare of the locking bar hasps and I’m over budget now (go figure). Presently it hangs straight down so it (fingers crossed) shouldn’t be in their way. For the cables and slice housings...

Thanks for all the comments, guys! Progress continues on the trailer, we needed to fold a couple flanges on the ends of our "picture frame" to be able to tie off the cut ends of the door jamb in the middle. The frame would not fit easily into either of our brakes, so a sketchy solution was...

Exterior panel will be hinged on that left side and offset behind the entry door to close things off.

Another 2x2 added underneath along with some cross ties so we can add some stabilizing/leveling jacks.. Genset connection/input into the power panel Also working on the cable pass through today, the frame for the hole opening was bent out of .090 5052-H32 aluminum and welded...
