Willys41 - Did you build the trailer or purchase it?? I have never seen one like it. Usually see them made out of the rear/trunk of a car but not the front. It is definitely different and very cool.
What size wheels and tires are you running on it, they look a little small compared to rest of the trailer and the car?

All very cool,always had a passion for a Willys coupe,probably never get one tho,too many projects,too little time.
I have also thought about producing trailers from the fronts of cars instead of the rears,will look at that in the near future for development ideas.

Bob,
I built the trailer out of an extra front end that I had from the willys build.
Since the overall proportions and weight distribution would not allow me to use the stock fenderwells (all the weight would have been behind the axle), I opted for DOT speed rated 205/50-10's and those cute little mags.
I have a bunch of build pictures I might share if anyone is interested. I used quarter eliptical springs with independent spindles that is kind of interesting. I wanted a lot of ground clearance that I could not get a solid axle hanging down.

I honestly think your in over your head this time and need to start a new project. I guess I can help out by getting the willy's out of your way, and I guess the trailer and go kart also, if it will help out.
honestly the only thing you could have done better on would be to move the kart about 6 inches back to center it evenly between the others. very awsome set up !Last edited by mooneye777; 05-17-2008 at 05:36 PM.

I just saw one thing to possibly consider on your set. Paint a grill on the trailer to match the cars grill.
