Looks nice.

get rid of those fugly white rims and get some bling:-P

What size is that? 5x8?

Luckily for you, you only have two wheels to buy. I'd have to buy four if I wanted bling.

Get some pics of the guts when you work on it. I'm still bouncing ideas around for cabinets in mine.

Yeah, it's a 5x8. I haven't figured what I'm gonna do with the inside yet, I might jjust use the wire shelves I have in the house to hold the crawlers. Since the trailer is short, I'm planning on building a pit bench that folds out from the inside of the back door so I can be outside and work with the door open. It will have electric power as well. Never know when you need to break out the Dremel.
I'll take some pic's as I finish the inside.

I'd build a fold down bench off one wall. That way you can raise it yo use it as a bench then fold it down out of the way later. If you build if off the back door that's weight to deal with on a swinging door (think about the hinges), and you'll have to worry about the ever-changing distance between the ground and the top of the work surface...unless your spot is perfectly flat.

Here's a thread on my 7x14: link

I want to add a fold down area on the right side of the trailer, but I have yet to do so. With stools, two folks can work comfortably at the 8' bench. Would like to add the fold down so someone in a folding chair can pit inside as well.

Yup thats what we did, the fold down table is GREAT even in a little trailer, if you do something like how we did are yous can fit anywhere from 15-20 trucks

Thanks, actually I've followed both of those trailer posts. Thats part of what made me want a trailer, well that and it's getting to be a PIA to load and unload all the time, and the collection is getting to big to fit in current set-up.
The small work bench I'm planning on adding to the back door, won't be any heavier then those hanging tire holder racks Mike has on his back door. I think this trailer is just too small to work inside height wise. I guess I'll see if I can make it work as I start work on it today. This is what I'm thinking of putting on my back door, it doesn't weight much.

How tall is it inside? about 5'?

Would be just fine as long as you are sitting when you work.
