    Ya know it dawned on me recently.. My trailer won't win any beauty pageants.. its paint has faded in the nearly 20 years it has been alive.. but functionally a bad@ss trailer.. I took it to my welder a few weeks ago and even his wife said the same thing.. I'm so glad that fellow scrappers see the beauty in all of our faded and worn work wagons.. when I see a dude at the yard with a brand new $4K trailer I think "What a maroon" because in all honesty- if he uses it long.. it'll look just like all of ours- with plenty of war wounds and dings, and dents.. even though we all try to keep ours in nice shape! :-)

    But if you try loading a car you'll be scraping the sideboards. Hope there's an easy way to remove them for car hauling.
