[BART]

So it's trailer time. Instead of cutting it up straight out of the box, I built it stock to see how small it would look, not much of a surprise that it looks comically small behind the stretched tractor...














SO off to the chopping block, I decided to make a scale 50 foot trailer so a little bit of math later led me to needing to extend the trailer about 14 inches for a total length of 42 inches...











Made my own additional center braces / deck supports out of 3/8 square hardwood...








The included decking would obviously not be long enough so I went to pat catans and bought basswood strips. Only problem is that the included decking is not quite a standard thickness and what they sell isn't long enough so I did a stagger with the originals and the new. Once it was complete, about an hour with a sander and then a DA got it level. Still need to finish all the trim and mud flaps but my hands hurt too bad to continue tonight.
