nice trailor man. i thought about doing the same for my honda, and either getting a s10 or using my rx7 as my tow rig, since its gonna have something rather powerful under the hood.

looks awesome. how hard is it to get the car on there? do you have a set of ramps you use?

id love to do this since i autocross and have been stranded 2 hours from home more than once....

425 isn't bad at all, but i wonder if i could get a tow dolly used for that much somewhere....

Yes, have a set of 4 foot ramps for it, still need to weld up some hangers on the underside for when they are not in use. Car drives right up, does't hang on anything, and I can open my doors and clear the fenders....yea, no climbing out the window.

You should be able to find a tow dolly for around that much used, if you can find one used. Those things seem to just get passed around like an old honda from friend to friend.

Badass. I wish I had a welder capable of (safely) making something like that. Nice work!

Advanced trigonometric calculations, hours of researching torsional loads, and finally, crash testing the first 3 prototypes.
