Been awhile since I did any updates on the new trailer, all the steel work as been completed and we have added a lot of Vulcan Racing Products to the trailer to keep things well organized and got them fixed in place, we also have glued both sides of the Acm panels to the trailer and cut the front door entrance, we still have a bit to go but its starting to come together.
