I'll be fabbing my work/utility trailer to accept my 914.
I'll widen the deck by a foot and make 9 foot loading ramps. The sides all come off and it is a flat bed. The yellow job box will be moved 3 feet foward to allow the car to come all the way foward. I'll add tire stops and tie downs. I picked up the chassis for this trailer 3 years ago for $50. It was orig a boat trailer. (low deck). I put over 5000#'s on it all the time so I know our light wieght friend will be an easy rider. I enjoy welding ( stick and wire ) and fab'n, so this weekend should be fun.

Trekkor,
Are you going to add the flush tie down rings? They work great. And when your ready, I'll take a picture of where Scott Yeaman welded rings on my back suspension to attach the tie down strap hook. It now takes me just three or four minutes to tie the entire car down. Much better. And when your building those ramps build them light.... Nothing like lugging around heavy old ramps at the end of a long day. Randal |
