Pretty nice.
You might want to reconsider the RPU or '32 roadster if you plan on pulling something so heavy. It'll pull okay, but it'll push you, too. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Don't take my word, though...

I've got my dreams and desires of having a nice "little" teardrop for behind my coupe.

Here's one (almost) in your neck of the woods, on Ebay...
It's too big for my needs, and if you and the hubby are into restorations, this might be a money maker. It even pops up.

Ebay Teardrop (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2490481194&rd=1&sspage name=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT)

At $8.95 I'd say the price was right.

That's pretty sweet... I'd love to restore a trailer as well someday. Liked 'em since I saw a cool kustom hudson pulling one at Billetproof about 4 years back.

OK, now that's a nice picture! I would love to have one of those one day... looking like a diner on the inside, with glitter vinyl and that diamond aluminum paneling (Or whatever it is called...I have no clue!)

Wow I'd love to have that ol' teardrop on ebay ! hmmm..

Our trailer is not a hot name brand trailer. It was locally manufactured in Ionia Michigan back in the early 60's, the the actual name of it is " Ioni-a-Home " which we thought was halarious. It's mostly done now, and useable, finished in retro. My truck tows it.
Considering we want to build a rod, a teardrop may be in our future..

Denny is my hero, here's mine:

It's a '77 Burro, we call it the marshmallow. All the pads inside are denim, with red bandana curtains. I think I'm gonna put some 60 Dodge Phoenix tailights next.

I would really love a teardrop to tow behind my jeep in the summer, or behind my car. They are small, but do just what they need to.

Time to start watching ebay again http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Dennys' a great guy.... have learned alot from him and he's been sweet enough to have let me drive his Ford p/u to a couple little shows. We only live a few blocks from him.

Kool trailers guys! I have better pics of our's - just need to get them scanned by someone.
