Saved this trailer from the graveyard, it's rough so it will get the custom treatment. How about the look? Attachments:

Not bad! Do you think the radius will allow better clearance when removing the wheel/tire? I like the look.

considering I am not a tradiotionalist, I like it, the slope on the back is reminiscent of the cars of that area, and the curve flows suprisingly really well with the lines of the trailer.

radius looks good but those wheels really get an A in my book, sharp looking

Thanks, I tried to pattern it after the mid sixties Galaxie XL wheel opening on the rear. The hammer and strip of metal in the picture are holding up the re-shaped wheel trim but it isn't long enough to cover the entire enlarged opening. This will definitely ease in tire changing. I helped a buddy change one on the interstate once on his trailer and it was a real pain. The wheels are 10"X14" Cragars.
