Boat tail project based on a single wheel trailer...

[BamZipPow]

Bottom gap cover fabbed up! I still have to trim it based on the angles of the access doors and add extensions to the bottom of the access doors. I'll build the supports that will hold the cover in place and install them soon...

Door extensions done!


Building out the rear support fer the wheel tail...

Here's what the front looks like with the front opened up. The white stuff on the left of the piccie is where I was trimming up the FRP so it would match the contours of the doors. I still have to figure out an easy method to secure the bottom gap cover in it's running configuration. I was thinking about pinning them to the bottom of the doors.


...and now a basic latch (with wet paint!) in the back to replace the pin system I installed on the first build!

Added in my license plate and found a place fer my custom hitch cover.


Working on low profiling the Harbor Freight square frame/round display stop/turn LED lights. I picked up another set and will be using 4 lights in the rear. Should I go horizontal or vertical with my 4 lights (2 lights per side)? I'm embedding them into their own Coroplast frame.

I'd put them near the top, closer to eye level.

Figured out a way to secure the bottom gap cover without a lot of hassle...with a shelving setup!

Bracket to hold the gap cover in place...

I had to git two pairs of lights since the design changed from last year (fer the better) as everything is sealed up in the current design. I did notice that the red lens did fade significantly from the previous version compared to the current version. Here's a quick mockup of one light set that the lens has been mounted in 1/2" thick Foamular.

Vertical lights...


Horizontal lights...which can be also centered on the rear bulkhead.

Both sets of lights tacked on. Mounted in Foamular and Coroplast.



I still have to install some 1"x2" backing strips so the mounting will be solid as well as drilling some holes fer the wires in the rear bulkhead.
