  1. 100% agree the problem is and was common.I think the honest builders out there will tell you the lower and mid priced trailers do a bad job isolating Alum and steel and will all have galvanic corrosion in 5-10 years - Most rely on paint or Glue to isolate but always seem to miss that a few screws are going through it all or a couple staples are rubbing through the paint, Like anything proper prep prevents it, but takes time and precision, that does not match the get it done quick attitude most of the builders have. it does not take much contact but takes time to eat through. Higher end all aluminum trailers seem to hold up, but theI are generally not cheap ...
  2. That just sucks ... Bad timing ... but fresh start as long as no one was harmed so sorry to hear about it ...
  3. My buddy is doing his right now - he sent me his spreadsheet
  4. LOL and Jeff gas was $2.50 a gallon - everything is 2x now
  5. The reskinning done right is a pretty time consuming process , been there a couple times . its lots of labor. Materials are up in cost too - depending on the length of the trailer- the panels ar e 49" wide (48 with and inch over lap) ands they cost abiout $140 each painted but the VHB tape and Silkaflex to adhere them is about half as much more per panel and you have to do a roof and from and rear and you likely will replace all the trim rather than try to clean and reuse - but labor is usually still 60% of the cost. if you want a toyhauler and not an enclosed trailer - its going to be expensive. A few places I know still do those UltraSantek probably is the most reliable. ATC not in SoCal makes some very nice pieces If its just an Enclosed you have a few good choices including NewTrend, Universal, and Fractal

  10. Adios Gertrude - Congrats on the sale ...
  11. Gertrude is a looker - good luck with the sale
  12. Like @J Alper said LS1 block are not the "best" choice even if you are moving over components from and existing LS1 engine. The L33 Aluminum 5.3 and the LS6 (same block and sleeve - different bore) are stronger where it counts and the L33 can comfortably go to 5.7 and even .005 over. But they are harder to find and have gone up in price lately. Newer 5.3 Alums from GM trucks (they have DOD) are not guaranteed to go to out to 5.7 as they have some core shift, you should always sonic test them - Been there and 1 out 4 were what I would call musable. But they are better and cheaper as most LS1's out there have lots of miles and .005 bore will not always get the cylinders round - 50% chance if you buy a used LS1 - it will be unusable as a performance engine. The Ls6 is a great engine if you need that bore, but they are like Unicorns now. There are a lot of LS2 blocks out there and having a 4" bore is nice because you can run heads with unshrouded valves like the popular LS3/L92 head, and even with Cathedral port LS1 heads you will see a HP gain due to the valve being farther from the side of the bore (I like catherals on LS2/LS3 for the sand - way more low end). GM did some changes to improve windage and oil control but its insignificant. The sleeves are like the LS6, longer than the LS3 so they work better for strokers but prices are nuts .... If anyone has a reasonable LS2 block they want to sell - pm me The LS3 has all the advantages of the LS2 (except short sleeves) and has the windage a little more figured out. New and used they cost the same as LS2's from what I have seen lately (CA) and like the LS2 the bore is over 4" - if you are moving LS1 parts (like a stroker kit) to LS2 or LS3 - simple Piston swap (and rebalance - at least the pistons) and you have more cubes and better overall and stronger engine - all the other LS1 parts will fit LS7 is a good block, but now things get expensive ... Iron blocks are cheap and plentiful in 5.3 to bore to 5.7, and super strong, but Personally I would not want that extra 110lbs Some of the Junkyard on the east coast still have LS1 blocks for sale, they are old school and you have to call them- but they are aropund
  13. Do happen you have one 2"x16" King coil over taking up space? Maybe a spare? or extra? or even a pair. I don't care if its emulsion, piggy back, or remote Resi, I need one and will reconfigure it. I know it's a long shot, but throwing it out - let me know what you got ... thanks
