Just some random pictures of my junk

My brother got married and his wife is completely in love with my suburban. She made it her "limo" for there wedding





This is a trailer I have been working on in my spare time. Just needs some clear coat, pinstripes, moldings, bed liner, and new rims.




And this is me actually making the trailer work for it's keep.

It's not bad for me because I only live 6 miles away from work. But yes she loves to drink the gas down.

They are wagon wheels that I painted black to get me threw the winter. They are rusty as anything on the inside, but they do the job.

Re: Just some random pictures of my junk

It started off as a 81 1/2 ton. Cab was too rusted for me to save. So I cut it up and started working on a trailer.



Once I got it made I used it for a bit as it was.



Then I wanted to paint it. So I sanded down with 60 grit, did some horrible feather-edging. Mainly just wanted to knock down the rust/bubbles.



Did some masking and tacked it off.



Spray bombed the top and bottom with some Krylon gloss black.



Then my buddy made me some 2" lift blocks since one of my blocks were broken.


And then as you can see it's at this point. I spray bombed the gold using engine paint. That was the only color that somewhat matched my suburban. Painted the tongue black. tossed a spare tire on. And have been using it since. One day soon I will clear it and do the bed liner.
