That little rat rod trailer don't bother me a bit.  I wonder if that steel roof is water tight?  JeffW

You know Jeffy, I look at the rest of the workmanship of that teardrop and find it hard to believe the builder would fail on that one little (but oh so important) point.  If you and I could get a look at that thing for just about half a minute I bet we'd find out that the corrugated tin is a cosmetic layer over something else that keep's her water tight!   You want one like it as bad as I do, doncha?

Dang Jay_Dub!!!  I didn't think of that?  and yes I do want one  I started to gather stuff to start one though,,,,  but  if you ever look up  "The Bog" at Watkins Glen Intl race track and check out the "Geneva Horny Heathens" you'll  see the crowd I hang with and would have to chain that to a pole before I went to sleep.  BTW  I know nothing 'bout burning that bus!!!!!  JeffW

Actually, that looks like my little Guys trailer with Rustic camo over it.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Cool thread!!  There was a teardrop for sale a city over from me and I lusted after if for awhile but never pulled the trigger.  Probably should have.  Would be nice out at the deer lease.  Anyway, it's fun to watch you modding this thing up.

Here's mine. I really like it. When I bought it they also offered a Retro model that was flat black and had white wall tires and Baby Moon hubcaps.

Oh boy, a Retro version?  I could see that getting chopped and dropped, doorhandles shaved off, de-chromed, windows tinted, going all classic Lead Sled and towed by a '51 Merc!

I extended the jack this morning and grinded all the rough spots on the trailer
