Rob, currently doing over a 1962 Bee line ,Honey Bee cab over trailer, that's what I've been able to find out not 100% sure, no paperwork . Love your videos and attention to detail. I will be watching a lot more of your videos. Thanks for sharing
Hi Rob... we are rebuilding a 1967 Trailblazer and have been watching your videos as we move through the process. Currently, we have finished the floor frame and are near ready to add the plywood and attach to the trailer frame with carriage bolts. In the video at 11 minutes 30 seconds you talk about going one by one with the carriage bolts to adjust the floor as you go, since it will become unsquared as you work towards the back. Can you explain a bit more about how you adjust the floor to keep it square? Appreciate any help you can give and really enjoy your videos!
I try to use the outriggers as my guide. If I have 1/2" of outrigger at the front, I want 1/2" at the back. But, they are all a little wonky. Always use your best judgement. It will never be perfect. Good luck on your build.
what made you go with black paint for the underlayment for you floor? Im thinking in my area that would get ruined quickly. I'm in the stages you are here and I'm trying to decide what to coat mine with or if i should so aluminum sheets like it had previously.
I wrapped my under floor with a huge sheet of 1/16" aluminum skin, hopefully it's water tight, I just couldn't bring myself to putting that fiber board back in

There are washers that have a square hole and four fangs that bite into the wood for places you do not have to put vinyl over
That sounds good

It is undercoating in a spray can. Designed for that purpose.
@@RobTheRebuilder gotcha, ill have to look into that. thanks for the info.
I see you run your frame boards horizontal all the way the length of the trailer. Is that structurally sound?
Factory specifications.
I wrapped my under floor with a huge sheet of 1/16" aluminum skin, hopefully it's water tight, I just couldn't bring myself to putting that fiber board back in
That is a great solution. I think you will be happy with the long term results.
Will you also spray an undercoating on the top of the floor before you put the vinyl on? Or is that over kill?
Too much. The vinyl is waterproof.
This construction looks quite a bit heavier than a modern foam trailer, but will last a lot longer.
Still pretty light.
when will you be showing installing the skins
I'm getting there. Going to have to buy some new pieces.
What screws did you use?
1 1/2" or 2" exterior screws to attach the floor to the frame.
How many cans of paint did you use Rob?
4-6 depending on the trailer. This one was a little over four.
