I just replaced the tires on the boat trailer. How do I get these shackles pointed down?

got my apex air - line spool mounted. their factory brackets are nice, but needed a custom piece for my setup. mocked it up with cardbaord to start - using the PowerTank mounting sled as my anchor point...



did 1/8" stainless from SendCutSend. bumbled my way through Fusion360, first project on it...



dry fit...

Big pry bar
 
Finished the free Coleman 424. I used paint I had on hand rather than trying to match the coleman green, so this one is krylon sand.

It was bad to start as it had been a mouse castle for a while and probably should have been thrown away. The stove itself was so bad the dogs would bark at it. Even the burner manifold smelled terrible when hot so everything had to be powerwashed and soaked in bleach.

Probably not worth the effort, but it was a free dumpster salvage and I think it turned out nice.

I think I will keep this one as it runs great, even on pump gas.

Saturday morning I Towed my fathers 55 belair down to a buddy's shop for some interior paint work. Respray the jambs, dash, steering column and new steering wheel.

Helped a new local guy install a snorkel on his 40th 80. Military guy moved here from CA, a well built 80 with all delta armor. I'll get him out to a meeting

@DC470 came over as well and hammered his pinch welds flat to stop the tire rubbing and readjusted his sliders
