Yesterday I finished putting all the outside panels on my new trailer, I will take pictures today and post them tomorrow. I also did some wiring and installing lights. I did forget to mention my new radial tires showed up today as well.

How are the outer panels secured to the framework?
If you have aluminum against steel, how do you stop galvanic corrosion?-
I thought that the trailer company's sealed the bare metal first with paint or such to insulate the two metals.
I could be wrong tho -
Tom i use the vhb tape from 3m I buff the steel tube with a wire brush on my grinder, then i use a scotch brite pad on all the steel after that i use 50/50 mix of 91% iso-alcohol and distilled water as a cleaning solution. This steel has to be clean so you get all of the black carbon off of the steel. Then you apply the tape and use a hard rokker to press the tape down. Since the aluminum panel is painted and never touches the tape you should not have a problem. The owner of sharp trailers walked thru the whole process at his plant and even gave me some hands on training.

Nothing A related today. Leave for work in a few hours and will get home from work around 6 am. Rest, relaxation and staying as cool as possible til time to leave. Highs in the mid 90°'s today and over 100° in the days to come. No A/C in the shop at work, but can always go cool off in the -20° ice cream freezer if I need to. Temps on the warehouse docks are around 34°, so I atleast have some options in between the two extremes.

Sanded primer on aprons and hood. Cut grass, weed eated, killed two raccoons, packed a whole bed of a truck for family beach vacation, sold my old Fordor body, smoked a 8lb pork butt for BBQ, made NC BBQ sauce and now nothing.....Comment

I set out a live trap to catch rabbits, but once caught a raccoon. That thing was so vicious that I couldn't get near the trap, so I had to shoot and bury it. Another time I caught a possum, but wasn't sure what to do with it. Looked them up on Google, and they didn't seem to do harm around the house, so I let it go. I'm making a large box to store the air compressor and welder outside my garage, and when I lifted the plastic over some old plywood, there were 3 young possums that ran out. Hopefully I can clean enough out of my garage to give me enough room to get around my Model A's to work on them.

Got up at 5:00 am and took a shower, walked Tater on our 1/2 mile route. Jumped in Henrietta and went to the car show in San Clemente parked next to a club member even if we were the only 2 A's there lots of people stopped and talked and took pictures. Went home and did chores.Comment

Had a great 2 hour evening ride in my 1930 Canadian A Roadster-which looks best in the evening hours due to original and flaking paint on the fenders..png "roll eyes")

Home from work and in bed by 5 am. Back up at 8:30 to mow the lawn while it is still cool enough. Not likely any A stuff today other than getting a few parts ready to list on ebay. Might list an engine and transmission this week. Debating on listing the excess engines one at a time or list all 14 at the same time.

Wish I could wait til fall. Farm is sold pending buyers ability to get a loan aproved, so have to have buildings cleaned out in a little over 90 days. Can not really afford to wait til the last few weeks. Wish the temps were a little cooler. Almost unworkable conditions except early morning til about 11 am. At any rate going to be a busy few months. Rod"Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good."
