pretty awesome for having a maintenance record.

The hub cap on my aluminum wheel's are held by the lug nuts. therefore i used the hub cap itself(drilled a hole) and made a bracket inside the hub cap w/ stainless steel hardware to hold. Simple.

Check to see if your wheels have a hub cap and see how it's held.

Slight update.

FE brackets. I do not want to put stuff on the wall of the trailer. Let's see how long i can w/out doing that.

Next up - race ramps...

I have been pretty busy with the little one for the last few months. Had sometime today while at the shop while waiting for material to arrive for another project.
Stainless steel table top- took measurements to make order for materials needed. I should have this ready after x-mas holidays.
Tool cabinet aligns. Also i replaced the "normal" casters the tool box came with to rotacasters. Anyone who has casters must have these or you're stuck in time.

^ Np.
I got some labels for my tool box. I used the Porsche font in bold to make them more readable. Not sure if i'm a fan of the bold, may go back to standard Porsche font. That said, labeling worked like a charm. I had a friend come over at the shop this weekend and he asked me "where is X tool", me " read the labels on drawers : )" - he loved it, never asked again

Getting closer....Local hardware store closed early Sunday due some silly shenanigans and UPS did not deliver some other goods on time. Let's see if i can finally wrap this up by end of this weekend. The table slides out 60" for plenty accessibility. Rails are rated at 550lbs.

To Do
- e-track on the edge of the table.
- weld mounts that will hold the wheels.
- padding for the frame that will hold wheels (wheels do not get damage)
- locking mechanism for the table.

Thanks D.
i left enough clearance to add an actuator under the table, if i decide to add the actuator later, if i get lazy(or old) to to open and close the table. : )
I need some feedback.
Should i add the Etrack (vertical) the length of the table or across ?
The table is 60" long 36" wide.
The first 40 " will be taken by the wheels. That leaves me 20 inches.

You can borrow when you need a trailer

Finished everything except the welding. Tomorrow i'll do the welding after i finish cleaning the GT3 under-body. Gt currently on the lift. I got distracted. UPS guy needs a job if he can't deliver goods on time.

[QUOTE=F1CrazyDriver;14644031]another update:
I have been pretty busy with the little one for the last few months. Had sometime today while at the shop while waiting for material to arrive for another project.
Stainless steel table top- took measurements to make order for materials needed. I should have this ready after x-mas holidays.
Tool cabinet aligns. Also i replaced the "normal" casters the tool box came with to rotacasters. Anyone who has casters must have these or you're stuck in time.

Can you edumacate me on those rotacasters..... Looked at their website, but curious how they work in real life? Do they have a locking mechanism? Are you moving the box around quite a bit or is it mostly stationary? May be interested in upgrading the casters (which are basically shot) on my tool cart.

Thanks

Here' a video i made for you. 100% rotational movement on all four wheels indepent of each other. When i want to go straight, i go straight as an arrow.
As for locking in place, it stays in place pretty good however no locking mechanism like traditional casters.

pretty slick. do the wheels help going over gaps (like the trailer ramp)?
