Body repair

As some of you know, we hit a road alligator last November when beat feeting it to southern Florida. For those who don't know, we call strips of shredded truck tires road alligators.

My fix at the time was to put two stainless pieces on the front of the trailer - one to cover the hole and the other to balance it out, visually.





A CG lawnmower ran into the side of our long slide fender and they said they'd pay for it, and they have. The long and the short of it was that we found ourselves at

Spurlock Body & Paint Inc
68389 County Road 23,
New Paris, IN 46553-9134
(574) 831-5275

They agreed to paint our fender on July 2nd, so we jumped at it because most everyone else was on vacation for another week (Keystone shuts down for two weeks with the 4th of July being in the middle).

They did an excellent job. So good and reasonably priced was it that we inquired about painting the front from the pin box to the bottom of the front compartment. The price was right and here is the result:



They put rock guard on part of the front, which gives it a different texture that we like.

Oh, and if anyone can tell me what year the front cap graphic is from, I would appreciate it. We now have a Johnny Cash Big Sky...

Really nice, Michael. I think your original repair looks good, too. Mine has a boo-boo on the corner of the rear end cap, right on the curve. I guess I'm going to have to find some gelcoat repair bondo equivalent and see if I can fix that. But it's 101 out there right now and it isn't going to happen until it cools down.
