  1. I'd love more pics on the trailer and the T. I'm addicted to both!

    Few years ago I attended a hot rod power tour. Had a good time but the motel bill for the trip killed me. I built this little thing for a few hundred bucks and then traveled another 4 years on the tour. Dragged it behind my '29 oil burnin' roadster. Saved a shitload of money and had an absolute blast in the process. Still got it, but it ain't been on the road for a few years. Hauled it from Michigan to Nebraska to Ohio to Tennessee to Texas to Wisconsin to Florida and locally. Fun on a trip and only had to give up a little dignity.

    This is in a scrap yard near me. May be gone by now, but could be replicated. I want to go back to see if I can get more detailed pictures. This is the only one I took at the time. Dope!

    Hope you guys aren't getting sick of me posting pics of the ranch... but I love how utilitarian this car truck has been-

    I had an Avion for a while. They're great trailers. They're made a little beefier than an Airstream. One of the coolest features was the fact that it had a torsion bar hitch! Sold the camper to Jonnycola-

    It actually drove better with the torsion bars and hauling a trailer than on its own...- the way it divides the weight between both axles rules.

    I ended up getting a old torsion bar hitch for my single axle...

    Heres some pics of the car I hauled down for Potsie- loaded it up without ramps just backed it down in the ditch and rolled it on. I guess they used to back the rear tires up on ramps and that would lower the back of the trailer.

    I hauled my 34 back with the torsion bars- and that setup was the cats ass! You can't even tell you're hauling a car!

    I love the look of this thing-
    I really want to build a tear drop some day- love the traditional low versions but I like how tall this is... I don't know what it is- maybe the proportions and fenders... it just makes me smile.
     
  10. It would be interesting to see who built that trailer out of car& truck parts...if it was cleaned up,it would be KOOL..
    I like it!

    Love the fenders made from 26-27 Ford T fronts.
