Thanks Jim...I'll have to put up a shelf just for this trailer and the C500

Better make sure it's a strong shelf!

Dennis,
I have been waiting for you to start this build thread. And you have not disappointed me. The is going to be one heck of a trailer.
I am looking forward to seeing what suspension you put under it.

Thanks Marc. I cannot find any pics for a suspension. Considering the weight of the tires, I plan on a very basic setup which will be an axle passing
through an I-beam.

Here’s 4 rims with the drive axle hubs removed and will be replaced with Stemco trailer hubs from Double Take Resin:
