I don't think we got too far off subject from what Rich was talking about. I had a similar experience to the timing being Really advanced on his car, I just have a different application.But we didn't have any help with his trailer issue, hope he gets it resolved though.

Oh I know Dave, I was just concerned because we were talking Ford and you know how sensitive those chebby guys are....LOL!!!!

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA

Finally got word from Trailer World that my trailer is due to be shipped sometime next week. Meanwhile, I got the truck back yesterday from paint and managed to at least get the exterior back together.

Looks great, Rich. -Al

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Just a few days shy of 4 months later I finally have custody of the new trailer. Liking it so far, but one thing really bugs me...the winch reinforcement plate welded directly to the top of the floor.

I would have thought it would be installed under the floor and welded between the crossmembers. As installed it will only pull on the plank flooring, not to mention it is large enough to mount a 60hp electric motor on. It's just disappointing to see a piece of metal thrown down on a nice deck and welded in place in such a nice trailer. I can't understand why it would not be given the same consideration as the floor mounted D-rings. :rolleyes:

Awesome Truck n Trailer Rich....

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

I have to agree with you Rich that there is a much better way to support the winch plate and not welding it to the top of your extruded aluminum floor.


The rest of the trailer looks very nice.

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Yeah, that one thing will bug me for as long as I own this trailer for sure.

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Can you weld or bolt on a brace underneath?

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Really, and risk the fabrication Police come and take his trailer away?

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Anyone heard from Rich ? I haven’t seen him at Bowling Green in ages ....

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Sorry folks...I have been working my butt off to get this building/shop finished. Waiting on material to seal the shop floor before moving anything inside. I'm going to do my best to make it to Bowling Green on the 15th...been so long now not sure if I even remember how to drive lol.

Nice building Rich, glad it wasn’t a health issue that kept you sidelined ....

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Trying my best to clear the cobwebs out. Gotta mount new slicks and go thru the Q-jet since it's been sitting idle so long. Barring any unforseen snags I'll be following Donnie to the track early Sunday morning. Poor little Mustang will have to hold down the fort lol...

Congrats..You just might have the first R/R on C/R

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

Just curious, what material did you use for the lower portion of building's interior walls? Very nice building (cars too).

Thanks

Re: '67 El Camino H/SA
 

The walls are 1/4" wood/composite paneling. I did'nt want to get involved in that tongue and groove scene...had enough on my plate as it was lol. With the LED lighting it is by far the best lit shop I have ever owned.
