Trailers, trailers, everywhere

. Not a lot of progress on this one but a little. I have been working as quickly I as can the last few days with my fingers on a few different projects. I made some time today to start the tub on this one. The sides on this seem tall to me but I think it is actually about right when compared to the trailer Brandon posted. I'm sure it will look a lot different once the ribs are added also. It's not too late if you feel it's too tall Brandon. More to come soon....

Looks good to me

tub walls should be in the 4 foot range

Judging by the tire height this 1:1 trailer must be between 5'-6'?

Reg do you think you can finish the top of the trailer like this ? Most dump trailers around here are used during winter for snow removal

With a board on top? Yes I can. That's how Benny's was finished. That will make this one really tall though. Is that OK or should I shorten the panels a bit? They are 5" outside, 4 1/2" inside as they sit now. A board would add at least 1/2" more.

Yeah maybe take a tad off the walls so it doesn't look too tall with the board on top.
