Re: ATM Trailer

["at making" <atmaking@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

Keep the scope full assembly was my first goal but the problem is the size 
of it. I have drawn some trailer to accomodate it but they where awfully big 
and the glass as to travel on is edge, something I'm not crasy about. If I 
can find some solution I might try but currently I don't like a 12 ft 
trailer very much.
