Jay's Teardrop Trailer

Saturday, April 9, 2016

First rough layout. Upside down. Many lightening mods to follow: replacing heavy cross members with aluminum, removing unused mount tabs, hole saw drilling, welding all joints/seams. Just the bag of bolts is over 5 #'s. I think I can remove 30-40 pounds.
