Thread: One Way To Build A '32 Hyboy

Tweet

When we went to shoot my truck in the studio Friday I didn't want to drive it, we were expecting rain. I always wanted a car trailer but didn't have the space to store it so we threw this together, so I can stick it next to my garage when I'm not using it. What do you think?
I stoled Don's son's Nerf bar idea.

I like the trailor Idea too, how did it tow being single axle, did it bounce very much? How much tongue weight does it require?

what are the figures for that sweet trailer. Like how much does it weigh, what are the weight limits, how long, storage space required, exctera. I think it would be a big seller just on this site.

Haha, it DOES have a nerf bar!!!!!!! Now that is something only a hot rodder would have thought of. Great looking trailer Ken.

Don

Very nice trailer Ken!!! The perfect solution for guys with minimum storage space but still wanting a trailer!!!!!

Thank you you guys. But I lied, we didn't throw this together this is a new trailer for '08 for us. After I posted this I got thinking I shouldn't of posted it. I'm not here to sell trailers, my intentions were to let you guys see something new before it is released. Its still being tested and will be for the next couple of months. I just thought it looked cool in the photo with my truck.
O.K. so now my truck is a trailer queen

Okay, then I volunteer to test it, I promise not to buy it!

See Ken, I WAS able to keep it secret!! Sorry Bob, he says Florida is a better test bed (at least that's what I THINK I heard )

Naughty naughty .

Kinda had an idea it wasn't just 'thrown' together - but............

great work, can i be adopted. jonathan

Bob-If you are serious we do have programs like that, but it has to be a serious effort, 1000 miles per month min. weekly feed back reports, things like that.
We are talking to Don on a east coast distributorship, we found a building in his neighborhood now I just have to talk him into working. I think this retirement thing might be hard to break
Remember, this was your idea

Back to the project, finally the interior panels are done. Next the interior guy will come over and select the foam density to get my ride height right with the most comfort. Then I can put the steering column in.

Here is what the final hood release will look like. I'm thinking of adding another brace in the center since my hood is extended 4". I'll see after this part is mounted if it needs it.

Sorry, I haven't posted for a while. My wife had a knee replacement, I knew that was going to happen but I had know idea it was going to be like this. This is an ugly surgery. Everyone probably knows someone that has gone threw this, but I didn't. I hope I never need one. My wife is a very strong independent person, but this has wiped her out.
So, there is no way I will make the finish date I was hoping for. I have been working on it but not to the point I was hoping for.
The fuel and electrical system is done for the injectors and the battery and stereo system is mounted, that all my progress.

Ken, More amazing work! I got some work done on my '29 today since the weather is improving but your '32 is out of sight! In a previous picture you showed circular holes in the cockpit sides for speakers? I am only replying because my wife had BOTH knees replaced TWICE! The first time was a dismal failure but the second time was done by a different surgeon and has turned out great. We are having new fun walking daily in a nearby mall. As long as there is no infection, joint replacement can be a great thing. Unfortunately for me the high quality of your work has me looking over my shoulder when working on my car and there is no way for me to keep up with that quality BUT (!) I will keep slogging on and do the best I can and hope metallic maroon will hide a lot of boo boos.

And that comes from the guy with the number one thread on this site. I thank everyone who is willing to show us lesser beings how to do it right. That very much includes you Ken.
