Default Re: Trailerling TIPS

If you have the time to make some modifications to your trailer, here is a suggestion that will protect the front end of the Model A from rocks kicked up and turbulence from oncoming traffic.

Find a shroud from a semi-truck and mount it on the front end of the deck. I just held mine down with about eight 1/4" lag bolts and placed it inside the side rails. I have not taken a photo of my finished trailer but here are a couple of photos that I modified to show what it would look like.

Used shrouds are plentiful, found especially in farmyards where they have converted a semi into a farm truck. Most are free.
