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.

Let me know if these work.
There is a bend in the Fulton that I need to straighten.

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. Edited by HCAT - 10 Aug. 2016 at 12:06am |

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. Edited by HCAT - 29 Oct. 2016 at 10:10pm |

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! |

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.

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.
