Mini-update:

Base of trailer is just about together. Plywood has been framed underneath and is loosely bolted to the trailer frame. Getting ready to crank it down and then cut out the openings for the wheels to stick up through. After that I can put it together, run back to the lumber store (for the 3rd time today) and get a couple sheets of plywood, cut down to the sizes I need. Also got the can of rubberized undercoat, and hinges and latch for the lid here already as well.

Before doing the wood work I wiped down the trailer frame and wrapped the back and sides with white reflective tape. Pics in a couple hours or so folks.

"Rubber undercoat" is it like this stuff? Great idea btw

And behold, pictures. Trailer base is finished and functional. Sides and top go on when I get home on Thursday. Trailer was test assembled before rubber coating, and that test assembly was used to haul the precut sides and lid home from the lumber store down the road

Also need to put fenders on the inside as well, and coat the bottom of those. Don't want mud/water/dog doo flinging up inside the box.

Ok...scratch that...camera is being a ****** and I don't have a card reader with me to pull the pics from my memcard..... *&^)*%(^*%)(&*^ camera.....

So I should be ordering the F80 kit from Duane (ThatsDax) next week. Any recommendations for his kit upon installation? Will the carb need any tweaking or other adjustments, or should it be good to go from the box? Seen people talking about reed clip this and other crap that. Figured now would be a good time to actually pay attention

Trailer looks great!

I have never had to do any thing with Daxs kits. Always were good out of the box, so dunno.

Got my very first china girl from the DaxMiyster. Not wanting to look as clueless as I truly was, I asked about plug gap and the inevitable "My cluch is stiff" questions. Big D; "Eyeball it and push it in hard. Ya won't break it" LOL and he was right. Really like doing biz with him.

(Didn't catch on for a few builds but the trick to stiff clutches on the chinagirls is just leading em right)
