The #25 Race Team outside shots....3-15-2018

[Gary Davis]

Thanks ED. It's starting to give me that look and feel that I was after.

Those tabs were a part of the Kit Ramp support system. I cut most of it away and filled the two holes where they had the ramps slide in. I will be using a portion of those tabs for support when I fab the folding ramps.

  I don't know about you, Gary.  A ready to race open wheeler sitting on a partly built trailer, and a driver in full garb waving to no one in particular. Maybe it is the glue.

Testing the waters John...just testing the waters. Had to make a few measurements for the tire rack........ OOOOOrrrrr...maybe it is the glue!!!

John, if you look closely the driver is saying "Uh hold on a second. I think we're going to need some wheels on this trailer before I can get to the track so maybe I will take my driver's suit back off since I jumped to gun a little!"

The trailer is looking really nice Gary!!

LOL...Well David...This is the new style of trailer...it's called a"LEVA-TATER". It don't use wheels at all. As you can see by the driver's left hand, it looks as though he wants it up a little higher.

  Maybe the latest edition of the Airstream Trailers.

Both  lookin' good, Gary.  Keep'em goin".

[Gary Davis]

The wheels and axles are in mock up to get a measurement for the loading ramps. The back wall of the cargo box is in and now the rest of it can be fabbed along with the tire rack.
Here's a look...

Fantastic job on the trailer and it will look great hauling that beautiful sprinter to the track.

Oh yeah!  Lovin' it!!

[TarheelRick]

Really good looking trailer.  Please show detail on the suspension.  That is one of my weakest areas, especially on double/triple axle trailers. 

[Gary Davis]

Thanks Folks for the Compliments.

The Loading ramps have been made and are in mock up here's a look.... 







Rick....On this build I'm using the Tandem spring setup that comes with the kit. But...one can build this if they choose. I did changed the ride by 2" by adding a 2" block on each axle mounting block. That raised the wheels up into the wheel wells for a better look. Here's a few pics for you....I hope this is what you were looking for..



 

Off the trailer..

[Gary Davis]

Update on the trailer...the Big box is complete and the tire rack is 99% finished. This should be complete tomorrow and off to the paint shop. Here's a look...

[john2]

   I like the slant of the rear deck, the side cabinets,  and the double row of tires.

[sentsat71]

WOW!!

That is coming along quite nicely!!  Love it!

[TarheelRick]

Thanks for sharing those pictures of the suspension.  I was hoping you had scratchbuilt them and had some magic formula.  However, I think I can use those pictures to scratch a vaguely recognizable set up.

[Gary Davis]

 Thanks John and Ed. It's going into the paint shop today.....

Rick...I hope the pics helps ya. I don't think there's a real MAGIC formula for making leaf springs suspension. I've made a few in the past and I found that the hardest part is getting all the leafs bent to the correct ride height.

[Tom Birky]

Awesome trailer there Gary! can't wait to see it done. And, oh no......another guy that says "ya know what I mean Vern?"...lol

Oh GREG!! OHHHHH GREG??!!  haha
