Been keepin' busy this weekend, keeps me off of street corners and the like.. This is my trailer. ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00587.jpg) Inoffensive, handy for camping, normal wooden sided camping trailer. Bordering on boring. cue Area 52 9PM slightly drunk playweekend madness. 8" trailer wheel. Standard fare. Boring. And rusty: ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00588.jpg) Work begins! (blink welding to tack the bands in, I wore a mask for the rest of the welding ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) ![](http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs499.snc3/27240_10150168629660615_702640614_11820401_4249999_n.jpg) Poke/strech! ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00590.jpg) Scene shot! :lol: ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00591.jpg) Overall: ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00589.jpg) Bit of sandblasting and paint and looking good! ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00593.jpg) ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00592.jpg) And it even made it home! Tows fine ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ![](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a194/Fox_Mcintyre/DSC00594.jpg) Coolest trailer or what?! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Plus it was Area 52's first banded set of wheels! Remember folks, I am a trained idiot mechanic. Don't try this at home with JB weld ;D

NEAT , I like that. Wish the wheels I am building for Nicola's 100E were that easy to make up. Long way to go... ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/morepix/P1070721.jpg) Nice wide Capri Laser bands. ![](http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm90/niknakpix/morepix/P1070690.jpg)

Would it be rude to suggest an A52 sticker inside the rim on the banded section?
I know these were made with very close tolerances and wouldn't want a sticker to put it out of balance ;D

i have one suggestion. trying to move the mudguard down to give the impression of dropped ride height? i would say slam the trailer but then it wont sit level. Then again you could channel it to get around this problem ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) cool as foook trailer!
