I was just wondering if anyone has repaired the rusted sides of a steel trailer before and what you found as economical solutions.
The Circle D has done its time and needs some love. I have a new rubber floor to put in it waiting on my in the barn. But the first step is to fix all the holes in the sides. I figured I could get some sheet metal sheared and put a new piece inside and out along the bottom and pop rivet it through all three pieces then weld the outside layer back to the frame.
Has anyone done it and found a better way? As usual...the search function failed me so I started a new thread.
I also found a local place that would sandblast and repaint it for $2800. Does that sound like a fair price IF they do it nicely?
Thanks.
