    As I was showing Karen the photos of the new trailer, I commented on how the pointy nose and its sitting up on the rails (sort of like it's hiking up its skirt to cross a puddle) makes the trailer look like a husky snow mobile trailer. Karen replied with "Well, Donny does have one of those little cars.............." :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    so says the driver of a "little car"............... LOL at least she didn't call it a "little SPORTS car".........

    Please find where it states "DART" anywhere on the old Dodge............I"ll give you a dozen of Karen's Cinnamon Chip Cookies (these would be Clary's if he doesn't hit his weight goal)if you can find the ~one~ spot it states "DART". Calling my GTS a Dart is like referring to all GTO's as aLeMans instead. And I know that all Road Runners are called Belvederes...........

    Jeremy McNicol We had a good time

    I would think your truck would pull it. Just put some gears in it. Like maybe 4.10. What gear is in it now?

    I guess this was a true Cadillac, too

    I said CINNAMON cookies, not a Cadillac Cimmeron. Also, that was badged as a Cadillac, the GTS is not badged as a Dart.
    Go up to the next GTO owner you see and ask him how his LeMans is running. :Dou::Dou:



    Back to the subject at hand..........what truck did you upgrade to?? I lost 2 1/2 mpg going from my open trailer to the enclosed with the V-10. Even with your V-nose, you're still pushing a lot of extra air, and hauling more weight. I bought some AirTabs for my trailer and I'll be seeing if they help with the aero and with the MPG. Right now, whenever I pass a semi tractor/trailer I get the trailer twitching. Supposedly these AirTabs will eliminate that.

    John,

    the trailer interior came unfinished, the wood is the plywood interior.

    I am adding he FRP panels and trim, then I will work on the lower half of the walls.


    here is where I started
