Project 3, trailer upgrades, Sean Murphy

[SeanMurphy265]

Purchased this Northern Tool 5x8 trailer, added some more angle for support, and expanded metal flooring. My purpose was only to haul my tools for welding jobs, and I had a budget for how much I could spend on my welding business. Getting ready to move back to Mississippi, and now I need my trailer to move. I decided to beef up the floor with some 10gauge sheets, and I added some 1-1/2 angle for side rails. Still have to finish welding, and close in the fenders. Not quite finished, so I will add more pics later. Everything was welded/tacked with my Everlast Power Arc 200 using 3/32 7014 welding rods. Made a mistake cutting the first sheet, major brain fart.

LOL, you remind me of me when I was younger, brain farts and all, good to see the power arc 200 being used to it's potential, enjoy life Shawn

One of my mentors told me once, and I will never forget it. He said "B, everybody f*cks up. A great mechanic can fix his own f*ckups.

are you going to put some sheeting on the sides or are you going to leave it open?

[SeanMurphy265]

I'm going to leave it open, since I am pulling it with a 06 Scion XB. If I get a truck I may put some expanded metal on the sides.
