Well, nothing got past the ole Salt!

Yeah, it's not much of a slum. I think she really likes her new berth.

Thanks for the kudos on the graphics, but you caught me, I haven't finished the port side yet. I have the wave, but no SUPRA or stripe. There was just not enough room in the basement to do it right, so I was waiting to get it out for the summer. But this weekend I had to get it to the lift and didn't have time to finish it. It'll happen when I get it back on the trailer.

I have a file for the wave, and Supraaddict made the Supra font graphic. I purchased them from an online vinyl graphics shop along with the pin stripe.

Thanks Will. I'm hoping you can come down for the Supra Reunion this summer and see her in person!

Lol, yeah Rob, me too. I would like to get this baot running this year for many reasons!! Im close to getting her running. Just a few troubleshooting things to do.

Looks great Titan, that red really pops! Everytime I see mine in the shop I think....it used to be red.

Working on the trailer now. These photos aren't great, but you get a little idea of the condition of the trailer. It's not too bad overall, but there are some rust spots where they originally had moisture-holding carpet.

Hey Rob, my trailer has diamond plating in those areas, not on top of the fender because mine is a single axle but that might be something to look at for your issue we discussed.

Yeah, I'm thinking about that, but I'm trying not to put $1,000 (mythical, made-up number) into this trailer rebuild. Diamond plating isn't cheap and it's not easy to cut with any tools that I currently own, so I'd have to pay someone to cut it all to size. Plus, my trailer/boat doesn't have any chrome and very little stainless anywhere. I'm also thinking about just welding some plate steel over the fenders and steps, and then putting some of that rubber/foam mat stuff that you can get in any color. Thoughts? Suggestions?
