Default Old style dump trailer

I've been working on this one for a while now but it is finally starting to take shape. There is much more to do yet though...

Thanks guys. I like the way it's turning out so far. These are a fair bit more work but it's a change of pace for me to do one of them.

He is in line Mark. It's just for something else.lol

The most fun things I've done in my life were never planned. Plans mean that life is scripted and that's boring.lol Live on the wild side Calvin!

When it comes to rcs I have to keep a plan, otherwise I'll just spend spend spend, and that's not good. Sadly lol

I spent the afternoon building the tailgate, spill plate and tail pan. I thought I would give this one a little spill plate to protect the lights. Things on the rear aren't completely finalized but they are getting close. I think once the light holes are drilled and the mudflaps are in place it will be looking good.

Each side panel wraps around to the front and they join in the middle. I welded it up today and you can barely see the join. I could have made the outer pieces in three parts but I thought two was better for the look I was going for.

Mark it's like that verse in that Tom Petty song "even the losers get lucky some times".

Here's the front after welding and about 5-10 min of grinding and sanding. Not perfect but once it's painted...
