Another winter build

Twelvegaugepump · 02-02-2013, 06:13 PM

Over the past year, I have collected different parts that are finally coming together in a trailer build. I picked up a boat trailer from CL, a fire box from CL (the guy built it for a shed heater and never used it), a Tejas Charcoal Grill from CL and a fuel oil tank from a friend.

A few weeks back I hauled the tank up to our cabin to cut it and burn it out. We welded hinges on it then as well.

Today I pulled all the stuff together (it was 6 below zero as the sun came up) and took it my brother in laws down the road. We heated his garage, invited my neighbor over who welds, and got cracking. I did not get a ton of pics since we were pretty busy, but I did get these.

Note, the Tejas Grill had a homemade firebox added before I bought it. I cut that off today and will be converting it back to its original condition. Also, you will see plenty of room between each of the components. I plan to be able to haul plenty of wood, coolers and my huge cambro on a diamond plate or expanded metal floor.

For those of you who have done builds, roughly what does it cost for sandblasting and painting for a whole trailer?

Busy the next two weekends, but plan to have this done before spring. Good start.
