Hanging the trailer from the celing of Dads garage for easier welding

Removing the rotten cross members

New cross members and outriggers also welded the stair outriggers back on as they had fallen off!

I looks like not much happening with the restoration over the last few weeks due to my surgery (note the sexy hospital gown). The good news is that while I have been recooping my neighbor John has been fabricating all the frame parts I need (how cool is that). I have been sneaking out to the garage to work on a few small things like plastic welding the cracks in the wheel wells cleaning up and testing the shocks.

 sorry this on is blurry but its the first of the frame repairs

 My welds are not pretty but as long as they are strong I'm ok with that

I basically cut away the top portion of the original C channel that was rusted through and replaced with Angle Iron still need to add a section to the front. the outriggers will be replaced once they are made.

Trailer on a trailer. finally got it flipped over but it needs a lot of work... at least now I can transport it to the welder.

Frame repair plan.

first of my new outriggers fabricated my my awesome neighbor. Time to get moving forward again after taking a break to do some camping.

I removed the wheels, shocks and axle bolts last night this turned out to be easier then I expected. It must  have been done recently by the previous owner who had the foresight to add Neverseize to the bolts.
