My personal opinion, is to cut your loses, sell the trailer and you have a nice down payment on a professionally built conversion. I know that sounds like the easy way out, but the one off's are very hard to sell and usually the owner takes a major bath when you go to sell it. You can look at many of the racer classifieds and one off's sit on the market sometimes for years.

If you are set on doing a project such as this, I recommend you tour a number of units and see how close you can get to the look and styling. Also, be prepared to spend a year or more on a project like this, unless you plan on working on it fulltime. Custom work takes so much longer than anyone plans. I had visions of building my conversion myself, but after spending 3 months just on the cab, I knew that there was no way I could keep that up.

Either way keep us posted as you move forward with your quest to get a conversion.
