Dunno why the old Bloggosphere went awol but I'm glad its back in working order.<br /><br />Norm, I'd love to have extruded C channel corners but don't have the kit to make them. Had to make do with the Airstream snipped style. And yes, the hoist is great; we've got a frame to support it but if you had a roof joist strong enough it would work just as well.<br /><br />Nice to be back and thanks for your encouraging words.<br /><br />ChrisAluminium Idlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00009809266762963563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009471997150227801.post-6930552395318288752009-10-24T19:54:18.598+01:002009-10-24T19:54:18.598+01:00Looks like fun Chris, nice work on the channel, if...Looks like fun Chris, nice work on the channel, if there is a will there is almost always a way to get it done. Nice to have the hoist for the shell, that sure makes it look easy!!!<br /><br />Dougtinman54https://www.blogger.com/profile/16008392232307230746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009471997150227801.post-44310832661053643182009-10-24T15:55:04.047+01:002009-10-24T15:55:04.047+01:00Chris, great post.

On Ryan's last two trailers, he had extruded aluminum corners that were shaped to fit the shell. Seems easier to work with those. <br />That chain hoist is a serious advantage. I wish I had access to one. We should be pulling the shell off the Captain this week and will soon see how much frame repair is on the list<br />Normnmbosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07210968299540845435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009471997150227801.post-5615539918448050712009-10-23T19:16:56.543+01:002009-10-23T19:16:56.543+01:00Looks great, Chris!

That channel turned out fantastic.<br /><br />She'll be coming together quite soon I think, and hopefully NEXT summer will not be aluminum-free for you. :)<br /><br />-Marcusutee94https://www.blogger.com/profile/02181072981573729534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009471997150227801.post-8192932435714864412009-10-23T12:15:22.332+01:002009-10-23T12:15:22.332+01:00YEAH!!!!
