Looks like a great site, I have recently been bitten by the old trailer bug. I have picked up a 1950's McGinnis Silver Duke.
It was last used on the road in 1964. I have been looking on a lot of sites and this looks like the best.
I will be stalking this site a lot.

It sounds like you have a serious case all right. We need pictures of your trailer as I don't think I have ever seen one. Good Luck and welcome aboard we are glad to have you.

Welcome to the asylum Willie. This should be the only forum you need. Lot's of experience and knowledge here. If someone here hasn't been through it or hasn't done it, then it's not something that should be gone through or done. We love photos so post up some of that trailer of yours eh?  |

That was a beauty in its day. Love the wood and the round window in the door. Can't wait to see what you do with it. You're certainly not starting out with a small project. Admire your guts to go for it!
Curious to know, are those rivets are screws holding the skin on?
And welcome from anther newbie. This is a great, friendly, informative forum.

The entire trailer is held together with 1' spiral nails.
The window has lasted for 50 years, I took the door off the hinges and where I am working on it and the shop owner stepped on the glass and broke it.
Oh well.

Just bought a 50's vintage Silver Queen built by HB McGinnis of "Peterboro" Ontario. Trying to find out more about them.
Thanks
