Brake Pad Posted November 16, 2008 #1 Posted November 16, 2008 I'm building the sleigh, onto of my Matrix Cargo Trailer, for the 21st annual Ft. Lauderdale "Toys for Tots" ride This just the frame & Skin. I'm rapping it in plastic, to protect it form rain, Then covering it over with Fabric, Bows & Garland. I'm also installing skies (Runnins) after I check the height off the bike. and battery opt. lights
