Russ Bellinis Wrote:Looks good Josh. I didn't work on anything from GTI because I don't remember seeing any reefers from them on the highway. I'm not sure about the rear doors. On some trailers, the doors will be the same white painted aluminum as the sides, on others the doors will be stainless steel. In any case, I think the hinges and locking bars and hardware are usually left in the raw. The hardware is usually either galvanized steel or aluminum castings.

Yeah thats a good idea, I have seen alot of the trailers with the stainless steel backs. I couldnt find a rear shot of a GT 53' trailer so I cant tell for sure if the bars and latches are silver.... Alot of the bars and latches I have seen are pretty raw looking, and unless the trailer has been freshly painted, they always look pretty beat up with alot of paint chipping since there being opened and closed so much.

BTW, thanks Misngth
