    Skin carts going 1900 miles. Not the greatest paying run but I will keep me busy for awhile. It was even preloaded and tarped by another driver. So I guess that makes its a gravy run. 13’8” tall 59’ long.

    A 16’ wide 60’ long box that sucks. Tarped both ways with three tarps and it only goes 350 miles.

    Extendable stands for some sort of WiFi or radio setup at a mine by Soda Springs, ID. Great load since it only weighed 6000#. Bad part was the 30 miles of mine road I had to drive to get to the drop.

    Really need to get a new fender for this side since the winch mangled the back half of my old one.

    Yes. Specifically the skin, or surface, of the wing.

    lol that part I got; I meant what is the cart? I never saw one setting around full of rolled up aluminum, is that the setup: just rolls of it tucked into a laundry style cart?

    They are reusable shipping crates basically. The skins are usually 80% processed. They are shaped, machined, and primed. The inside looks like a windshield rack that you would see in the back of a pickup. The dividers keep the skins from touching each other.

    The skins are straight not curled. They are too thick to curl.

    Aerospace is very similar to the automotive industry. We haul parts one way and empty crates or carts back.

    It looks sweet, but can I ask what made you decide to throw 389 headlights onto your kw?
