Looks great! Thought about painting your trailer wheels to match the car wheels?

"But Daddy, it would be ever so much nicer on our rides in the country if we had a heater from Summit to keep our toes and fingers from freezing and snapping off. Please Daddy, please!
With your talent and two hundred dollars you could make this happen!"
Also noted, did that darn steering wheel air bag go off again?
As told to John by Cooters loving but cold children.

Cooter, your boys will remember and cherish times like this for many years to come. I'm telling you this through experience as my sons are 46 and 50 years old. They still remember the things that we did together and what they learned. So, keep on the path that you've set for them.

I can remember helping pop put a pinto engine in a VW dirt track car when I was little. I'm guessing I was around 7-9 years old. I remember it being cold and a old wood stove burning in the old garage. He handed me some Emery cloth and had me sand on a cam lobe. I'm guessing the moisture in the air had made surface rust and I was polishing it off. I learnt to drive that old car. He would reach his left arm across and hold roll cage so I could lean against his arm to reach pedals. Drove that ol car all over that old farm then ended up at dirt drags with it by 16 years old. Hope my boys get the same good hot rods gave me.

O.K. I see that the install went well and that the bed cover will be the aluminum/plywood piece. Or is that the base for an upholstery piece that matches the top/interior ? Will the bed cover be hinged or removable in some way? And, how will the cap be mated to the fuel tank so there will be no danger of fuel splashing around ?
And when will the heater get installed?

Have a look at the press and pop thingys they use on draws and loft doors. You push to open and then push to latch closed. They would mount under the bed top and will not be seen. Leave a nice clean/smooth top. I can post a pic of one if you like. Got any plans for the coming summer?

stainless steel brackets break when you bend them. grrrrrrr. get to start all over..
You did the whole procedure right. I would just use a thicker material. 1/8" 90° angle mild steel.
What gives stainless such great corrosion resistance also makes it not bond so well. It's slippery, so to speak.
