(1/13) > >>

gasserx:
I need to build a trailer for my FED, and need inspiration.
Dont need a trailer the size of a house - with bedroom, livingroom etc ( ;) )...., those money needs to be spent on engine and car  8)

Open trailers rule, any pictures?

GlennLever:
A lot of them are built on modified boat trailers.





and then there are open trailers built from the axle up

dreracecar:
Open trailers are fine for in & out events, but after awhile  and with todays sociaty on the prowel enclosing the open trailer is a must do.

Dolmetsch:
Well, I built this last year for my Fed. It will handle a longer one or could be built that way easily. It is built from 2x4 1/8th mild steel rectangular tubing. Axle is a modified K car unit. Wheels are from the wreckers and tires are proper trailer tire with load rating easily exceeding the weight it carries. This trailer was built to mate with my 63 dodge MW street car and makes a bit of a stir when I show up towing the dragster. Why an open trailer? Because as a kid I remember how exciting seeing a "REAL RACE CAR" was. An enclosed could house anything but No one can enjoy it. I park it inside when not in use with the rail parked on it. With an enclosed trailer there is no visual effect.

GlennLever:
Personally I would look at a GOOD used enclosed trailer. They are not that expensive, protect the dragster going down the road, from the elements, and from nasty people.

They make a great temporary garage and storage place when you need to empty the garage to work on the dragster.

I actually have three.
