Autocar Trailer #2

Got all of the strip stock glued in place today and did some preliminary filling and sanding. There are still some low spots to fill in here and there but it is coming along. I finished putting 2 part resin in the bottom of the tank to add strength. It leaked out some of the seams but that was good for sanding later. A little more sanding and filling and it will be ready for the skirting. Once the skirt and back compartment area is filled in the last bit of the strip stock beyond the bottom end of the tank will be cut away. The actual tank is short of the end leaving it for opening doors and the pump and hose reels.

The most finicky part was the transition area between the front and back portions of the tank. Getting a smooth line is a bit of a challenge. More work to be done there. Once cleaned up the 5th wheel plate will be attached.
