What happens here

Based on the angular design plans, fabricate a sturdy yet lightweight frame that will define the unique shape of the 'Cyber Trailer' body. This typically involves cutting and welding metal tubing, such as square steel or aluminum tubing, to create the skeleton. Aluminum is lighter but more challenging to weld. Carefully measure and cut all pieces, then assemble them, ensuring precise angles and strong joints. Securely bolt or weld the completed body frame to the base trailer chassis, verifying proper alignment and structural integrity to withstand road conditions.

Goal: Build the internal skeletal structure for the angular, enclosed body.

What they say

This is called a cyber trailer, and I'd be nervous as a longtail cat in a room full of rocking chairs towing this thing down the road. I know that if I parked it out in the woods, birds would be smacking into this thing left and right, which tells me it might be difficult for cars to spot in the hustle and bustle of heavy traffic. But you guys tell me, what do you guys think?
