This turned into way more work than I was expecting. Little back story. I bought the Fundeck off a guy who lived by the beach. A steel trailer by the ocean not good. Lol down the rabbit hole i went. While the main structure of the trailer was good any sheet metal of tubing was trash.
Few shots before.

Had to torch some of the axle bolts. Shackles were trash and eaqualizers were all egg shaped so I replaced everything but the axles.

Had to replace the linear 1.5x1.5 tubes that run the length of the trailer for tje bunks. They were so rusted I don't think they would of held much longer.
Also had to cut some of the step material out were the fenders attached so to rust.

Cool project. I love the fact that you're running a torch wearing flip flops. That's totally my style.
Lol. Actually my buddy doing that but my style as well. Lol he's a heavy equipment mechanic and just don't give a fuck.

Badass dude. Nothing is easy in life. Except adding more stress. 🤣
