Looks great! I've been looking for a set of the top bow metal brackets for mine... Might just have to fab a set of shorty bows if I don't find some soon.

I  bent some top bows from wood lath I got at Lowes for $10.    Found this canvas on Ebay.  Almost looks like it was made for it size wise.   I just have to get another sheet to make and sew a front and rear panel on.  I hope the wrinkles work out after it heats up.

I've heard it's the same pain and expense in Texas.

Thank You

.....A word of advise to my fellow Pennsylvanians:

Don't buy a trailer in Pennsylvania with out a title if you want it on the road,  what a pain!     Censored

Finished it up today, just have to get it inspected for a new title and VIN.  

I unfortunately had to add front and rear marker lights and reflectors, and a passenger side tail light for the State.   Im a little frustrated with that because you can't title a trailer as anything, but a trailer, regardless of age, antique or classic etc..  In my opinion, the trailer looses some of its character when it gets modernized.

Here is the Arrow 41, 217 and a wheel cleaned up.


Ignore those ugly Phillips head screws.  They are temporary until I find a suitable slotted head like the original had.

If there are small dents, I leave them, because I'm a little dented up too.

Let me know if these work.




There is a bend in the Fulton that I need to straighten.

Great looking trailer.
 
Can you post some more pictures of the front showing the tongue from the sides and the hitch/safety chains and a front on shot so I can see the fronts of the frame corners.
