I guess I'll need a VIN to register the trailer. I can incorporate the VIN plate from a cheap ironton utility trailer, and re-structure it's frame rails to build upon. The 4.8 x 12 inch tires hold up 1082 lbs, and since my trailer is only for aerodynamics, it will weigh considerable less than that. I can use the leaf springs from the trailer kit, and the lights and wiring harness.
I don't think a VIN will be required fer a home built trailer. Mine doesn't have a VIN and DMV was just fine about registering it fer tags.

Any ideas on how you will be mounting the shroud/gap cover?
