Thanks for the comments Guys.
Took full advantage of the snow storm, no calls came in so spent a pile of time on it on the weekend and last two days...
I've started the frame of the trailer now. This is shown in the tilt position. The steel wire you can see locks it on the untitled position. Pull the wire out and it is able to tilt.

The jack turned out pretty cool.

Waiting for some wheels a buddy in the states sent me. Once they arrive I will work on the suspension and fenders. Then both upper and lower will be married together for the final product.

Another update! Been at it all day and was working on it till 1:00 AM last night.
I had a hard time trying to figure out how to do the fenders but stumbled across a piece of neoprene in my garage. I threw it on the lathe and worked it down to something usable. Cut sections out of it and it fit the bill. It didn't glue well so added a support piece under the fender where it meets the lower skirt. Should be OK.

I am assuming the suspension on this trailer is torsion tubes, didn't have a picture to show what it had. So torsion tubes it is...

The trailer would not stay tilted so had to figure out a way to prop it up yet be hidden and out of sight.

This is pretty much it, Needs paint. Needs the floor sheeted with wood (will use balsa wood). The Super clamps made and instated and the Super glides made and installed. And then little extras like lights etc...
The truck is almost complete as well...
