Trailer restoration.

Trucks, cars, boats, motorcycles, snowmobiles. If you can drive it and it has an engine but it's not a tractor, it fits here.

With the prices those trailers are bringing, finding a sound one and putting a little sweat into it seems like the way to go. Nice job, good as new! :thumbsup:
Been watching for the right trailer "project" to show itself too, not that I need another project. :D

I used treated pine. I would have rather used rough sawn oak but the Amish is about a 40 min drive. I should have picked that up before I tore it down. It should last a good 10 years at least.

Did the similar restore on my 4x8 trailer this summer . The original floor was Tamarack and went 10 years . This time I am using Ash , as it is cheap hear from local mill do to the amount of die off because of the beetles .
