Finnished the cattle trailer finally

[jon f mn]

Between bad weather and filling in at my old job, this has taken a lot longer than I thought it would. Plus it just took a long time. Glad I didnt have to pay myself a wage to do it. Lol.

Painted it earlier this week while it was still warm. Used case power red and power white paint.

Looks good behind the truck.

Glad that job is done. We'll, except for tires and wheels. The tires are pretty rotten and the rims are rusted badly, so ill just buy new ones when I can.

Looks great. When one of my projects seemingly takes forever, I joke that I'm glad I was getting paid by the hour and not by the job!

Nice job Jon!
Yeah, sometimes we end up not making much per hour fixing things for our own use.
On the other hand, if you worked those hours at a job and bought a new trailer - you would pay income and sales taxes and profits to the trailer builder. So I don't think you're working quite as cheaply as you think.

Nice job. With new wheels and tires it will look as good as the a new 10 grand Corn Pro.

Nice job on the trailer, Jon. Did you use just a flat black on the interior?? Gary.

 

[Tgrasher]

Painted a similar horse trailer once, unfortunately with Red Rustoleum, and now it's faded to a dull pink. Appreciate how much work you put into getting the metal ready to paint.

I used Por-15 on the whole thing. The inside was left with that.

Looks great. I can testify it always takes longer than you thought it would. That’s why my 70 Mustang is still not done. Haha.
