I stow all my tie down and tow equipment for this trailer in it so it is in one place when ready. I have the front jack motorized and can chock and lock the wheels so the car can be loaded without being tied to the vehicle small stands at the back of the trailer prevent it from moving up and down and the car is loaded and unloaded with a winch.You do not have permission to view this gallery.

That is a very nice job. We have traded for a couple of enclosed trailers on car deals and I am always tempted to keep one until I look at the quality of the build. They mostly look good on the outside and are of terrible construction. They remind me of the old conversion vans of the eighties, all held together with staples. You can take pride in yours from the inside out. Now that it is done are you taking orders for more?Comment

Hey Mitch i already showed what would make us both happy and i would even chaffeur for free, unless your still broke but they could finance you I'm sure. Seriously for you I would do it if I had the capability and space to handle it, the hydraulics in the trailer would probably be the biggest issue not mention the aluminum. -
hey push over Mitch, I'm next!! How else am I supposed to visit you way over in Philly?
what incredible workmanship.
I have a ton of respect for people who want to do the job as good as it can be done
and to think it only took him a couple of days!!! LOL

This one has just about been like restoring a car from the ground up, but like you said most are poorly constructed when I had it inspected and a vin tag put on the trooper looked at me and said this is supposed to be a home built trailer, well i will tell you it is much nicer than most new ones I inspect. He said man I thought you were a manufacturer.Last edited by BNCHIEF; 09-08-2017, 07:43 AM.Comment

Great looking job Chief. I am wondering, will you be using strap over tire style hold downs?You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!Comment

I will however I also use heavy straps as well i put protective straps around the rear axle and pull to the front, then i put on two more to the rear not CRISS-CROSSED then I put the others over the tires. that controls all movement allows the suspension to work. I do not like tying to the front axle myself. I winch this car in and out of this trailer and that is why I designed it like this and when I load the car in 10 days I will post some pics again.

Very nice..............OH NO, I forgot to grease the wheel bearings. LOL
I like the idea of an enclosed trailer so I could have year round storage for another car.
Is there any problem using an enclosed trailer as a year round garage?Comment

These freight containers will work also for storage of an automobile.
I have two as you, see one for shop things and the other for all Model A items. When i built my cars i stored all the parts in it which was great, and it's all organized inside with heavy duty shelving. I have stored cars in my enclosed trailer with no issues.
Don't even think of coming here and stealing all my Model A parts because i have both those doors alarmed in series with the shop system.. They are also blocked by that car which is t-boned on the R/S but it runs and rolls easily.

That's an awesome trailer. How did you attach the insulation to the ceiling?Comment

Speaking of alarms, back in the mid 70's a couple scum bags broke into the local service station, and the alarm didn't go off when they broke the glass to get in.
The alarm went off when one of the guys flushed the toilet.Comment
