Met a cool guy today locally. Mentioned that he had built a trailer using the rear axle of a Dodge Rampage. I talked about the cars and almost out of nowhere he told me a secret trick about turning a fishing boat backwards and placing it in the bed of the little truck. “You can get 60 miles to the gallon easy!” In response, I showed him a pic of aerohead’s truck. Super cool to meet anybody who understands my interests. It’s an overweight/overpowered/overbuilt worldview around here.
Anyhow, this guy makes signs in my area. He had a laugh at my coroplast and told me he has lots of 4’x8’ sheets of Dibond aluminum/ABS sheets. He gets them for $75 each. For contrast, my local building supply quoted me $370 for a 4’x8’ sheet of 1/8” ABS!
Finally. I can already imagine the under-tray possibilities. Hell, could make some great wheel discs too! He says he uses a sheet breaks to make curves, but I wonder if I could manage some with a heat gun. Hmmmm…
