I have to ask what the cool front signal buckets are - copper cooking pots??
They are from Target. Found them in the floral arrangement/rat truck accessory dept.

Got wood?
I have some funky old AZ aged wood (dry rain and hot sun) that came off a trailer I had years ago. Some of it is warped, but there are some straight pieces if you wanted to make some "vintage" sides for it? Mostly 2x6.
Well i hate to put any more new wood on it. I priced reclaimed barn wood brought here from other parts of the country. It was $10 a foot.

Thanks 26T and Lowbuck. Dave i would want one inch wood. I would like to get up to the ghost towns to find the real stuff and replace all this new wood.

Well okay. There's some nice white picket fencing along 89A around Peeples Valley. But you might get shot at up there.

E-man, what do you think of my re-olding boards dream, by sandblasting your new boards, maybe blasting the ends of the boards a little more aggressively to roughen them up and then staining them with the greyest tone you can find.
I have not really tried this so I need a guinea pig who doesn't live to close to me so there's no physical repercussions.
Keep on tinkering.

I realize that to everyone else it looks absurd with the long wheelbase. Sorry if i have offended anyones sensabilities.
I think you should throw another axle in there and make it a tandem!!

I thought about distressing the wood MM and trying to make it look old but i think i will live with it untill i find some old stuff.

I thought about that! Move the axle forward and put a tag axle in back. It would look killer but it will have to be way down the priority list. Got to get the Earthmobile back on the road before it starts cooking here again in March.
