Well not much progress on my trailer but I have started 5 more and I have one of them about 60% done. The one I am working on now it a tri axle for a good friend of mine.

Pics of the assembled trailer frames so far.

No problem Paul you are welcome. And hay Joe will forget all about the lowboy when he sees the folding dove tail Trail King.

Travis, the lowboys are just great! I guess the material is easier to work with than aluminum? Less expensive? Any special process for getting paint to stick? Now that you are running an assembly line I envision the "Travis Trailer Company". You'll need a logo and decals for them. Probably paint them blue like the Mustang!

Awesome work on the trailer and the home-grown wheels you did! You just need more snow days...
