This is something I've wanted to do for a loooong time. I have a nice smoker, but it is placed on a regular trailer. I want the whole unit to look more "BBQ". And I want to weld the smoker to the trailer so it never moves. So there's a bit of styling to be done on this one. But I have a plan, and know exactly how to build it, so good times ahead! I have already gone with the 'rugged' (rusty) old school look on my smoker, so I'm gonna take that even further with my trailer rebuild. I'm going back to the 1930s with my new design, and it's gonna incorporate quite a bit of woodwork too.
The job for today was to get everything off the trailer. That took some effort. And then start dissassembling everything. What I did was cut off the leg frame with a steel grinder, then shorten the legs, and weld it back on. I dropped it a good 6 inches, so it sits lower. I also started stripping the trailer. I will cut off the two side walls completely, and replace the worn out bottom board. The fenders are a gonner too, et.c. I won't reveal too much here and now, but I'll post pictures as the build progresses.
The ugly trailer, about to get a real makeover
The belly of the beast (Rude Boy almost upside down)
Here's the leg frame. Cut off, cleaned up, ready to go back on
Leg frame welded back on (with shortened legs)
Got myself a real low-rider now
