man that looks great

[Semi Trailer Mechanic]

Thanks

I was going to make glad hands for the air lines but instead I just drilled a couple holes just next to the glad hands (base mount bolt on w/' shut offs) on the rear of the trailer. This way I just feed the end of the air lines thru the holes and it looks just as good.

Looks good. What did you use for the hose?

Cat5 comp harness. Wind the strands around an 1/8" drill bit or metal rod of some sort. Hold it there and heat it w/ a micro torch or a lighter then cool it instantly. You'll want to warm it so the insulation is somewhat soft but don't scorch it. I do this next to the sink so I run cold water on it right away. This will retain the coils.

Great tip. Thanks. I knew Cat-5 cable was good for something!

Scott,

The trailer looks great. The weathering is very convincing and adds to the interest. I liked the missing rivet and the rust around the hole in the first pictures. It looks like it has been sitting idle in some yard for a long time. I like it.
