Nice! I didn't even know you had anther truck and trailer.

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Sadly not mine just a reference picture to show what the trailer looks like in black which looks awesome!

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Where's the polished one?:D

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Haha it's coming along picked some more buffing compound as I was starting to run out! Going to finish it with some black magic rouge to get that mirror finish! :cool:

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

now i can't do my lowboy black :(

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

How long did it take to mill that counterweight? Very repetitive. Turned out nice.

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

I don't have the tools for the job so I paid a machinist to have the work done. Took roughly 2 weeks for the counter weight and another for the bucket teeth.

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

How is the buffing going ? I am so curious.......a lot. The LowBoy and truck is killer......

Re: Tremblay Excavation

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

First and longest step of polishing the tub is complete...no joke I easily have 50 hours into polishing this trailer but atleast I'm halfway there! :eek: Used tripoli brown compound to help remove imperfections with it's cutting action. Second step I'm going to be using black magic rouge compound to help achieve get that mirror finish!

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Looking good

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Thanks Mike! Not an easy job by any means but I think it'll be worth it in the long run.

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Beautiful, I hear you on the job of polishing, never easy, and when you think you have everything polished, you look closer and there is a spot you missed so back to the grind stone...

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Wow, inside too! Planning to haul cotton balls?:p

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Ya that about sums it up! Lol

Inside, bottom...every nook and cranny! :D Hoping the clear powder coat will help keep it looking good!

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Trailer tub is finally done! Now to finish the rest of the parts off in black magic rouge compound...

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

When I saw the first pic just now I didn't realize it was plastic wrap I thought they were scratches my heart dropped and recovered ! Looks great

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

WOW look at that shine box!!!

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Thanks guys! All this work is finally paying off.

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Woohoo time to assemble this bad boy and get it clear coated! I won't be getting the nose with the tarp mechanism inside powder coated as I don't believe it will withstand the baking process in the oven. It will be polished however to match the rest of the trailer!

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

I'm going to send you all my steps and aircleaners
That looks great

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Haha thanks Mark, those are easy bits to polish. I think I put more hours into polishing this trailer then it took Reg to build it! I easily have over 100 hours of polishing and the nose still needs to be done but I'll do that while the tub is at the powder coaters.

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

:jaw: I'm speechless about this beauty! That's why I ain't said nothing bout it lately.:lol:
Short term pain, for long term gain. Very nice work Brandon. Keep it up :cool:

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

The box looks very good polished now the question is what are you gonna haul in it after all those hours of polishing

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

sailboat fuel is all I would haul

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Hahahaha I hear you bigford

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Cotton balls.:lol::lol::lol:

Looks great Brandon!

Re: Tremblay Excavation
 

Sailboat fuel!! Good one!!

Mark you are nuttier than an outhouse at a peanut farm:lol::lol::bounce:

Re: Tremblay Excavation
