Default Daniel Boone was a Tractor and a Trailer

Gradually removing the deck from the old trailer. Lots of welds to cut with a Zip wheel. I want to save the decking, which is formed channel. I'll use it on the new trailer but will just use two strips turned upside down for tire channels. Should work good. Here's a shot of the Dodge frame lurking in the grass, waiting for me to start the '30 Dodge pick up build.

Got the side rails back from Jerry the Sandblaster. Ventured into riot torn Minneapolis and picked up steel for the trailer. Welded patches on the side rails where they were thin.. Moving right along. But I probably will need more steel.

The trailer is widened 15". I patched the original frame where it was thin. Next will be the extensions on the rear. The rear end of the dragster is narrowed so the channels will be widened to the inside to accommodate the difference. As you see the blue channel now it fits the width of the dragster front end. It sounds sadistic, but I'll cut the tongue and the diagonal supports off the old trailer and weld them on this one.
Here's a pic of what my next roadster will look like (this winter).

Default Slow but Steady

Did some trimming and fitting on the channels. Just about done with the wide part at the end where the slicks will sit. The channels will go to Jerry the Sandblaster to get cleaned up. Lots of cut off wheel work, grinding and welding. Here's the body I put together out of spare junk. It will be the basis for the roadster shown yesterday. But first, I'm going to take the Mustang II suspension out of the Renault and put a straight axle under it. Gasser style, but not nose bleed.

I don't know which one you are referring to. The Anglia is ready to hit the road right now.
