FEDs on trailers
wideopen231:
MY plan is to build a open trailer designed to be enclosed later. I would love to get hold of some extruded aluminum like Goldrush uses in thier trailers. Could build floor with bolt on side rails and remove them when could afford to do aluminum encloser.
Open trailers are cool and gety lots of attention for car,but as stated enclosed is really the best.Car is dry and safer/Keeping folks from messing with car halps avoid extra lawyer fees after catching them. With the numerous thefts of complete rigs now days I would hate to see how manyarts would disappear from car on open trailer over night.

Here is a link on one built in the UK hopefully it works.

I am planning on building one like this.

Its all about the money i guess, but an enclosed trailer at that size is NOT cheap over here :(
grapo; that is something i would love to have. Looks really nice. £3500 is not bad at all, but you`ll never make deals like that over here.
But for now, i would need something that i can afford. Open trailer..
Car will be stored in my garage, not in the trailer. And my local racetrack is just 2minutes away, so i just need something to get it there.
Modified boat-trailer is a good idea, thanks :)

Mine cost $450 Canadian $ including tires. I cut one normal fender in half to get the narrow ones so the car could sneak up between them . It took a week to build. Doesn't need ramps per say (Just a block of wood to split the rise at the back), tows well I can and always do load the car myself and I don't half to unhook it , just raise the jack to load and unload. I am tickled pink with it.

Open trailer is the most practical for me. Also love the attention the car gets on the motorway going to events, lots of kids giving the thumbs up and waving, people stop and speak at petrol stations etc, would be even better if I could tow with something period but my nearest track is 70 miles away
