D-I-Y chain tie-downs for the weathered Fruehauf trailer.

(In progress) The 3 coils are relatively small for the size of the trailer, so instead of spacing them across the bed alone for a spartan look, I wanted to add interest to the visual and add unique anchors for the chains. This will make each coil appear more substantial when viewed overall.

I'm using a Dremel and Gorilla glue for the ball pins to anchor the chains tight into the trailer bed. AMT only supplies 30" total chain length, so at 10" per coil, or two 5" pieces each, it leaves no room to properly anchor over the edge. Plus, there are no anchors for the chains anyway! I'm using AK real paint markers on the anchors for effect.
