Default MAC frameless half round trailer video added

Hello everyone.I just talked talked to Brian in Pa,and he told me to stop slacking and post some pictures of my junk.Here is a project that he helped me on,its been sitting now for over a year due to a issue with getting a cylinder built that don't leak.Got that problem solved,so here we go.First picture shows when I got the 6 3/4 aluminum tube cut in half,next cut the rear edge/tailgate area.


Next I had the front of the tub assemble at a chopper shop.

Now we are getting somewhere.Next was attaching the suspension to the tub.I used simulated air suspension,from Gerryk,It worked like butter,real smooth
Time to design a draw bar,front braces,and rear fenders.Thanks to Lee and Tony,we got that done.Off to Brian in PA for polish and here she is.Enjoy the video


Enjoy and ask any questions you want.
Ed

That trailer looks and performs amazing. Can't wait to see it tipping behind a truck.

You got P.M. by the way.

I think Brian's got the right idea!!!

I'm going to start calling you The Magician !!! You have a history of just making top builds appear out of thin air! ... and all are amazed and "oooing" and "awing" !!!! including me!

great work!
