OK, we didn't kill the entire car..... trailer project

[iBrent]

Should be pretty easy and might look cool on that upper most flat spot on the trailer. I will look tonight for some nice lights.

I think lights on the front will look great to break up some of that surface area. Lots of negative* space.

I thought that's where he was going to have the picture airbrushed of the whole rig? :laugh:

Maybe find some that we commonly use as sidemarkers?

That was what I was thinking. Sidemarker-ish, not those huge rectangular ones that look like the giant childrens legos .

I don't get why you would need lights on the top front, but I can understand at the bottom at the front corners of the trailer. the trailers my parents have have orange marker lights at the front corners of the trailer. they might work as turn signals also, don't recall right now.

They're called clearance lamps and are required on trailers exceeding 80" in width.

So if the Contour is less than 80", which I believe it is, then the front facing lamps are not necessary.

However, the side markers at the front (like your parents trailer) are required on all trailers.

Um I think the car was just under 6' across, so 72" is clear for no lights on the front. I might put them there anyway to clear up the "negative" space .

Looks like I will be adding side markers though and I think I will make them turn signals not just running lights....

Slap a vinyl old CEG oval logo in the dead space.

 

[blu_fuz]

I would if I had one. Anyone have some vinyls laying around I can put on this? I have the contour.org ones that will go on the door windows.

 

[zorrex]

I think the best option is to install a window, but you obviously don't have time to do that before SZ.

 

[JesusFreak]

Needs more exhaust on the trailer, LOL! That is amazing!

i will try to remember to measure the length of the hearse tonight, but i think it is close to 24' long.

I vote for purple under-trailor neon :laugh:

I think it is a 50/50 split . Sometimes I wonder myself.

 

[Mywhip]

Do the back windows work? haha

 

[blu_fuz]

Yes they do

 

[TUFTOUR]

you should rent time in the trailor at SZ, for folks who want "private" time together :laugh:

 

[todras]

When the trailer is rockin', don't come a knockin'.

 

[blu_fuz]

Like I want any of you nasty bastids in my clean trailer. I have a midget woman in there giving lip service as we speak for $2 :laugh:.
