New Trailer

[Ares]

Hard to believe this is same trailer I bought. Has come along way and looks so much better inside.

Left wall is done. Used black latex backed speaker carpet(about 1/8" thick). Bought like 16 yards of it Entire side is one piece. Cut it out on floor and rolled up and glued it to wall with 3M 90. Cutout used on wheel well to see how it would look with carpet. Managed to do it all in one piece also and it came out better than expected. Another coat of epoxy on floor before stopping today. This time used a 1/2" nap roller which worked out far better. Got frp trimmed out around side door and trim in place. Just need to get carpet up on the right wall. Hope to be done next Saturday and start getting my car ready for track. As it has not moved since last September. So got myself two more weekends.

Got the right wall done last weekend. Also cleared floor with Seal-Krete Clear Seal. Seemed to make surface harder over the paint plus filled every screw hole and seam. Have some aluminum tread plate to put where tires will sit. Started making template for counter so I can get the stainless cut and bent for that. The ceiling will wait until fall.

Sorry for crappy pics. Took them sunday when it was rainy. So had trailer backed into shop at work and side door closed to keep rain out.
Ended up with a seam near door but was able to keep it out of sight with some patience.

Looks like you could start a side business finishing trailer interiors!

Got car in and it was like whoa, WTF is this. No pine needles or sap to fall on me. No rain or snow either.

Got brake controller hooked up yesterday (Prodigy P3) and got it set. Thing works real nice.

Need 3/4" to get doors to clear fenders. Won't be an issue once I swap to 28" slicks next season. Also with car in a spot I like. Rear bumper is 14" off back door and I have just over 7ft from front bumper to cabinets.

Looks great! I had to bolt some 2"x12" boards to the deck of my trailer so the doors on both my cars would clear the fenders.

Was thinking the same thing. Cheap and effective.

Looks great! I like the fact that you put the effort in and did it yourself. Be proud of it! Too many people buy shit like this already done.

Forgot to show the counter top that was finished. I made a template and my dad cut and bent a piece of stainless.


Just added a 27" tool box from Harbor Freight. Didn't use the caster wheels and it was recessed so used 1/2" plywood under bottom. Bottom box is bolted into floor using 5/16"x2" bolts with fender washer top/bottom and then lock nuts. Need to bolt middle and top boxes and then attach to wall. Have an idea on that and hide the gap between wall and middle/top box. Can still get around car where box is mounted.

Even better an ice maker. Then just go straight air to water for turbo

I can't wait for mine to get here. Looking forward to finishing mine out too.

Looks real nice. 2 questions though.
What's the weight now that it's all done? I saw you said it was 4000 when you got it. Weight with the car inside also.
What's the weight class sticker on your Dodge? I think that truck is a 1500, right?
