In order to do the dropped skirt look, they have to spread the axles... is that correct?

We use a 3M tape to hold panels on at work. It requires a primer to be wiped on the surface and dried first. You are not removing those panels once applied.

To do them between the axles yes. You can do them front and back otherwise.
I did want the spread axles though so it’s a win win for me.

No chit?!
By the way thanks for taking care of Zach Adams, we are looking forward to getting his car back together! He’s one of my best buds. Should run well!

I too would like to know the particular 3M product used here. I have an older trailer that needs some reattaching in a few places. I was going to drill a couple holes and pop in some rivets but I'd rather not drill if I can avoid it

I believe it! We were at the dunes and my buddy had his rear door open. The sun was reflecting off the top and burning holes in his coin flooring on the door!
I wouldn’t have thought about other vehicles though. But thank you for the heads up!

Awesome build!! Very cool to see one come together from scratch. Stackers are the chit!!! I have a nice Universal Stacker I bought from a board member a year ago after changing from 5th’r to pusher. It’s been a great change, so much easier to drive and double the storage. My stacker came with a lot of cool features: belly lift, side TV, power awning, 12 volt and 120 volt interior lights, 60 gal fuel station, 50 gal fresh water tank…. But some of the features I think are super useful but maybe not standard that you should consider are: 12 volt halogen spot lights on all exterior sides of trailer (super helpful loading, hitching, haven’t had a tire go but would be awesome there), built in tool box, work bench, air compressor is on upper deck but switch for it is down on the work bench and hose reel right above your head so you don’t have to go up stairs to turn it on. The things it didn’t have that I’ve added that you may want to consider: small sink on front work bench (awesome when wrenching in trailer), mine has generator box under work bench that you access from exterior door; I put battery bank in there instead, added 2-200 watt solar panels and a 2000 watt inverter. So now I can run all my 120 stuff off batteries and charge them during the day. I would at least pre-wire for solar and inverter, super useful. Also - think about mounting a spare tire under the trailer or somewhere easy to get to when you’re fully loaded.

Trailer is fully skinned on the exterior. They are cutting the trim pieces to fit prior to removal for paint. I am doing all black trims.
Interior is ready for insulation and aluminum. I’ll likely spend a few nights in this a season for quick over nighters so having the insulation in it for heat/cold/sound was important to me.
