Wells Cargo Trailer Resto
№ 0232024 – 2025

Wells Cargo Trailer Resto

Won this off of Copart for a decent price. Its 1994 Well Cargo 6x12. Very stout, I'm presuming it would be under HD badge nowadays. While the bar build was the first time I sprayed a 2k finish from a HVLP gun, this project was the first time I've sprayed automotive finish. Also used white raptor liner on the front and back as well as Henry's Tropicool on the roof, which actually does an amazing job at keeping temps down in the middle of summer. New tires, new lacquered wall panels, eTrack and led lighting everywhere.

Auction Trailer Rebuild

Picked this up at a local auction for $120 in not the best shape. Did a bunch of reworking to it so I could use it to haul long lengths of lumber and steel as well as sheet goods. Its been incredibly useful!

Picked this up at auction for cheap and gave it a quick cleanup. Ended up selling it to a buddy a year or so later.

Restomod Golf Cart

A clapped out 1989 Club Car DS, stripped to the frame and swapped out everything electrical but the motor. 36V resistor to 48V solid-state controller with custom wiring throughout. Fabricated many new parts, the rear half of the roof is a dog kennel liner, and the front bumper cost a dollar and used to be exercise equipment.

Homemade CNC
№ 003 ★2020

Homemade CNC

Built from DIY Builds' YouTube series (https://www.diybuilds.ca/) during the 2020 lockdown, from parts off eBay and Amazon, Home Depot plywood, and an engineering desktop pulled from the e-waste pile at work. Running in a few months. It's since cut the bar's sign and fluted casing on the Bar Build, amongst many other projects. After the initial build I applied some left-over heavy duty adjustable feet and amazon retractable wheels to the legs, and traded its DIN rail for linear rails on the Y axis.

This thing came out of a storage container in rough shape. Took it apart, cleaned, painted, and put it back together. New tray was made out of an Amazon cookie sheet.
