New/old trailer build 1966 Apache Raven tent trailer

Fender forms look good, Will the rivited strips be covered?

 

[Expedition Essentials]

No they will be exposed. The mounting tabs for the fender skin are below the rivet line.

Just as an idea... Once you rivet all the side skin on, seal off, tape off and then liner over all the new skin, rivets and all. This would hide everything and give you more protection and grip while your standing/working on it. Looking superb!

I like slope on the fenders. The lines on it look great with the original body.

Your Trailer looks Great! Are you getting a new tent for it? Also if you looking to do new Mattress Walmart has some really nice deal on 4" memory foam mattress topper They worked perfect as the new mattress in our Colorado and they sleep really nice too.

Using the tent that came with it for now. Had it cleaned and treated already, should be ok for a while: howeve I would like to have a new one made with additional windows. Perhaps when winter rolls back into Washington I will send it out! Thanks for the info on the mattress topper. I will check em out.

Looking great!!

Trailer wired, fenders painted and installed: took it for a shakedown run on the freeway with my wife following behind, just in case any parts started flying off. Pulls great no issues!

Just need to get her into paint now!

Wow, very nice job. I can't wait to see pictures of it set up in a camp:smiley_drive:

 

[TheThom]

^^^me too!

 

[Mark Harley]

Very nice stance with the Jeep!
Looks awesome. Your hard work has paid off.
One of a kind trailer that will cause a crowd where ever you go.

Better schedule " show and tell time " when traveling.

Thanks for the complement. Eye ball engineered, garage floor build, I don't think so! I have read through your build, you do very nice work! I love old things brought back with a modern twist. Very nice! I look forward to meeting you at the rally.
