    I recently started working as a painter for a lowboy factory. My dad has been a lowboy welder for over 20 years and i've always been fascinated by them. I recently found this forum and went through both Big Loads threads lol. I love looking at the pictures and reading the stories of the things you guys do. Anyway i started this thread to see if i can get you guys to post some pictures of custom fabwork or new lowboys/repaints and trucks. Ill be updating this thread with what i paint in the booth. i'll also have to ask what's okay to take picstures of and what isn't. I'll start the thread off with some pictures

    1. Two tone deck extension
    2. Primed ramp
    3 Painted ramp
    4. Flip tail that will be two tone.
    5. Metallic Booster
    6. Primed Booster

    That's some nice looking iron. I want to get into fabrication work someday. Actually took the first step and started applying to fab shops around here the other day.

    Thanks. I just prep ( grind , chip , sand , ) and paint. All the welding and fab work is done in the shops up front. They do some amazing work. I want to get into fabrication later on. I'm learning so much just from painting. I painted but never lowboy trailers.
