I laid out the sides and vehicle ramps to be laser-cut and
etched in .020" styrene sheet. I laid out the inner framing for
the sides to be laser-cut in .040" styrene sheet. The underfloor
framing members are pieces of styrene rectangular stock.
I could not find an easy way to get the 1/8” quarter-round sty-
rene shape for the body edge of the sides. So I took a length of
¼” styrene tube and used a sharp knife to cut it into quarters
lengthwise.

4: The next time I found the trailer it was located at
Quill Ceda Auto Wrecking. By this time the trailer
had been cut down to its frame, and still in fairly good
condition considering its age of 60+ years. The next
series of photos are detail pictures I took of the trailer.
I wasn't about to miss what may be a final opportunity.

wheels. The mud flaps are located farther back.
