the axle was just cut out.

this is just something to pass some time and have some fun. i wasn't too particular about being original and decided to buy a damaged popup trailer and use the frame as it was really close in size and came with a axle.

i had to narrow it by about 4" on each side. I went to a muffler shop to make the curve section at the back. I also weld a bumper at the back of the frame for protection and i will be able mount a the spare tire rack

i found the frame was too high with the current axle so i had purchase axle with a 4" drop.

i have sanded the entire frame and repainted black.
also purchased a water resistant foam used for truck caps and covered the entire top side of the frame with it prevent rubbing between the shell

that's about it for now, it just getting above freezing here this coming week so the work will start again

keep you posted
