Mopar - D Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 I was able to finish up the load tarp and some painting. The white unpainted area is going to be silver. I still have the gate controller box to make and run some air lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 This is an epic build, who thought a trailer was just a 4 sided box with wheels. The fabrication work is very impressive, these types of trailers are much more complex than most people think. Great job. Hope big plastic is taking note, bottom dumps and double bottom dumps are very popular in the construction industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted May 23, 2022 Author Share Posted May 23, 2022 Thanks Tommy. It would be great if big plastic issues one of these bottom dumps. I would have to pick one of them up to go with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 The rain forecast for today didn’t happen so I was able to get some spray painting done today. I’ve also built the remote control box just need to attach it and finish running the air lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bills72sj Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 You have done a remarkable job of a never seen (or at least very rarely seen) subject. Your tarp material is letting the quality of your build down. I have some weedblock cloth that is more to scale and will actually relax naturally. Iwould be happy to send you a piece at no charge. The photo is a sample. The Mustang is to show its relative scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 Seeing that I’m almost done with my dozer I thought I would check out the push bumper on the trailer. Looks like it’s going to be close but it’s going to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
