I decided to choose a BBQ Grill as my project because I thought it was going to be a fun but challenging project since I have never attempted to create a BBQ Grill on my own. My BBQ Grill is about 5 feet and 5 inches tall, the length of my BBQ is approximately 4 feet and 3 inches, and the width of my BBQ is about 1 foot and 6 inches.

My partner and I wanted to challenge ourselves for our senior year and decided on building a flatbed car trailer, our design features a tilting diamond plate deck that can be locked flat, two heavy duty solid axle, and a completely custom wiring system for the lights. (of course once fully finished) We also hope to paint our trailer white.
