THE TUB IS BACK ON

Sorry for the delay guys......

The major work to the tub is done and now the little patching begins. After the minor work is done, then comes the paint.

Looking good.
The license plate hangs low, It may get damaged.
I mounted mine to the rear cross member seems to be ok at that height,

Looking great!!!

Could you provide any info on the shocks you used and what did the shop use to fabricate the shock mount. Im in the middle of my build and stuck on this. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I will have to change that up after I get it inspected and registered.

UNDERCOATING

I forgot to show that I under coated the bottom of the tub...

 

[Mark Harley]

Can't wait to see it in matching paint.

What other ideas do you have on the list?

Great build...!! I am about to embark on the same on an old Bantam T3C. I am sure once I get it I will be contacting the EXPO trailer restore guros on tips.

Keep the updates going!

How is the trailer coming? Weather in Pittsburgh has been crappy. Did you sell your 416 yet?

Big changes over the next few days....

The tub is having the Line-X sprayed in today and the exterior should be painted by Wednesday.

There are two people interested in the M416 and will be making the drive to Pgh from out of state this week end, or so they say. Both having other M416s to look at that are closer where they live (NY & OH).

I've been sitting on it, thinking I'm going to make an expo trailer out of it, but I'm so into my M101 that I lost interest with the M416. I would just like to recoup the money I invested in the purchase and pick up of the trailer. I will be listing it on craigslist soon. I just thought I'd give the guys who are into expo trailers I shot at it first.

Can't wait to see the paint on the trailer.
There are a couple M416 and 101 trailer groups on Face book.
Post it there if a no show.
As I recall there are a couple people looking.

Post pictures when you can.

THE TUB IS SEALED

Line-X filled in any flaws and completely sealed the interior. I'm very happy with the outcome and the work done by Line-X of Bethel Park....

 

[Mark Harley]

Very nice results.
Did your 416 sell?

 

[Phoenix]

Looks awesome. Going to look at one tomorrow. What's next?
