That would look great with turquoise panels on the sides.  |

I was going to wash the original bare aluminum areas with cleaner and have not thought about colors I will use for uppers and lowers. A good friend suggested a similar color as turquoise. I am checking out paints tomorrow. The roof will be silver aluminum since this is what I have for roof paint. Someone else mentioned turquoise and palm trees? I think it will probably be scary enough for most without doing the gunwork art. WGJ

Making headway. Investment to date: Trailer $10.00, Lic. & Title $20.00, Roofing = a donation, Primer $38.00, Spare tires = donation, Aluminum cleaner = trade for box of .243 reloads, Labor = 6 hrs.

D*mn that's a deal so far!!! I haven't seen even a junk trailer for less than a couple hundred bucks down here in TX (everybody thinks their crap is gold here).
I think those old trailers look cool, the styling then is pretty neat on them. The over use of formica was a bit much, but I always like the aluminum trim and aeronautical look to alot of them.
Neat project, and it's uber usefull when you're done.

I have the turqoise paint on its way this afternoon as someone suggested. Had my son-in-law pick it out so it better be right. I got this from a guy that has the (gotta buy everything and go to every auction gene). He pulled to his mothers very nice country home and stored it out front for all the neighbors to see. 1st he said he wanted $100.00 after shooting the breeze I asked and it was like he was going to pay me to pull it away. He even aired up a tire. I'm pretty sure mother gave him the ultimatum about living there and that particular item. It had the lighted glass door handle until yesterday. Fell in or out and tore top bracket off in turn snapping plexiglass handle. WGJ

Having a rough time, too much time in the woods caused lack of attention to detail now at home. WGJ

It is great! Only a select few know where it is. Like if I spend to much on CNC related projects my wife does not know the location or is there phone service. I guess these dogs are another hobby. The Lab (Ross) I baby sit for my Capt. son-in-law who goes off often on military functions. God bless those before, now, and after for their dedication and sacrifice. This area is our claim to fame, however, the nuggets are micrscopic and few. The dogs eat all foreign organic matter/objects so they help keep the Rollohome perimeter clear of the brown shoe attracting sticky residue from the Cougers (four legged). At home pondering my next assult. WGJ
