Dad's New Kayak Trailer

Dad asked us to modify his old camping trailer to accomodate kayaks so they could tow our kayaks on their trip to Florida. Chris and I spent about 12 hours or so cutting, grinding, welding and sweating. In the end it turned out pretty nice and Dad was happy with the outcome (I don't think he was lying). It needs one solid coat of black paint to unify the old red paint with the new metal and help cover up all of our mess-ups (mostly mine!). Here's the best part: we needed to take Dad's trailer back to Houston and Justin's welding trailer back to New Braunfels - all in the same weekend. The solution - put Dad's trailer in the back of the truck and haul Justin's trailer on the hitch! Needless to say we got quite a few strange looks going down the highway! Here's some pics: (Disclaimer: there may be a few pics of Chris' butt in this slideshow... I got carried away ;))
