Looks like a trailer for a mid-70's jet boat with gold glitter paint! Nice score! How much?

Gonna put the other one on CL?

That's great and all but...I'm not understanding the reason behind the giant plywood base. Wouldn't pressure-treated 2X6's be a better choice? That fucker is gonna warp like no one's business!

True we will see how this works. The 2x6's at 10ft are $5.50ea and I only paid about $30 for wood and I would have paid about about $50+ for wood alone. But you are right I will probably just have to redo it.

Now that it is snowing and the trailer is outside, it will probably really warp but a good trial run. I used plywood in my other trailer I built and I put rocks and grass and shit like that in it and I saw it the other day still holding up great.

I think it depends on how secure you mount it to the frame of the trailer.

Looks good!

I think you should bolt some old furniture to the trailer like a living room set up. Have Matt sit in a recliner just reading the paper under a floor lamp and pull him around town for a bit.

Oh yeah, the law might not appreciate it...

Or a domestic violence still shot moving down the highway @ 70mph for public awareness. Some country guy with no teeth beatin on his ol' lady and the police bustin in through the door to arrest him. That would be an awesome picture moving down the highway.
