Grab a beverage... might be a long winded one. :wink:
Been trying to design graphics for the trailer, and after several disappointments, wild goose chases, vinyl screw-ups... ultimately wound up with a new rig.
The original trailer saw the first piece of vinyl...
The bottom line... the layout was approved, however the execution was lousy.
The left panel wasn't located between the hinges... which threw off the phrases on the right panel. Note the lettering over the hinge plates !?
:mad2:
Decided not to allow them to fix the mistakes... since their execution was less than desirable the first time.
Decided to look for a different company... who saw the previous efforts... and was dumbfounded why it was done that way.
Then it was decided to retire that trailer... the barn doors have served its purpose.
So that graphics idea went on the back burner until a better option was found.
Saw too many bad trailers on Craigslist... and drove to and from empty handed; Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland.
Finally found one that was relatively in decent shape and price in Virginia.
A 2007 Pace 8.5 X 20 car hauler; Torflex axles, two rows of e-tracks, 2 roof vents, and a 4,500 lb capacity rear ramp. Oh boy! :thumb:
Then it was the interior layout/redesign of the trailer still under development.... currently 90% done.
Then resuming the graphics to be reconsidered with new options with the rear door.
Then the truck I was using was starting to have its own personal issues... beginning to complain, making unusual sounds and ugly noises pulling the trailer... which was under its own design specs.
Looked like it was time to trade in that set of problems, too.
Therefore, here's the results of too many headaches and breaking the piggy bank.
2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 2500 HD (LBZ Diesel with 60,000 miles/Allison 1000 6 speed)
CarFAX (Texas for 5 years) - super clean. Never saw a snow flake yet.
Looks like the name stuck; The Piggy Bank :shocked:.
