Needs a Polish Big Time, But very solid and sound! Interior need at least a freshen up, or possibly a remodel.

Very nice Pins Only. How many pins are in there while towing that silver bullet?

What a great idea!  You should turn it into a mobile pinball arcade  

I like it - very cool...

Looks sweet. A little polish, new Craigors w/ low-pro rubber and some neon and you'll be pimpin'.

Got any pics of the inside?

Yeah, New Rims will be done at some point, or maybe some nice Moon caps. The door isn't wide enough for a Pin at 24 inches, at least not a WPC or System 11, I would have to measure for a Classic Stern. Maybe a "Silverball Mania" would fit! One thing we are considering is doing it like a '50's Diner with a Booth in the Front, then I would really try to fit my "Diner" Pin in!! Not sure how, but...   The walls are curved like the outside, so it is very interesting.

Here are a couple of Pics of the inside. It has been vacuumed out since, but all the fabric stuff and foam beds etc. will be going. I will measure the back one for proper angles etc. before I get rid of it. I could recover it, but I don't see the point. If I have to redo it any way, I might as well redo it the way I want it.

How does it smell? To what would you compare the smell? The inside of a fake leg?

Hmmmm, I can't say I have had the "privilege" of smelling the inside of a Fake Leg! so I can't say. It smells like a trailer that has been sealed up for a few years. Lots of dried Moths and lots of cigarette butts, etc.

I cleaned it all out, no dead animals, no leaks of note, maybe a little condensation water, but I believe there is no Rot to the floor. I will know more when I pull the carpet, but I don't anticipate any surprises. That, of course, means there will be some!

I can just hear David Bowie...

And heeeeeeeeere am I sitting in a tin can....

hey woodstock style! or is that a silver ball?

anyway looks cool

the good thing with those is...you can hide them in the woods...that s what they are meet for...
so all you need now is a fake mostache

just joking

damn that nice dave.   where did you find it?  cost?  
   can't wait for the remodel.  the window looks big enough for a pin to fit through.

Update!! Ahhh some progress!! Shining up nicely, interior, Floor is also being stripped.

Dave

Tell me you're not doing it by hand.   Looks like you're going after the mirrored high glaze finish.

You would make Ricky and Julian proud!

You gotta get one of these Epiphone guitars to go with it .... there is one on ebay right now!

Well... It wouldn't fit in my Parts tumbler, so... Actually, I am using two types of polishers, one a regular low speed "grinder" type and then a 2 headed "Cyclo Polisher" Seems to be working well!

I would buy it in a minute, but it is closing in on $1000 already!! That is inching closer to the price of the trailer in the first place!!  

But... If you see one that isn't autographed and donated for charity by the Trailor Park Boys... Then I am very interested!!  I might have to Make my own!!

Dave

Here are a couple of comparison photo's, so far so good!!

Dave

Quoted from hardkor
