    The thing that gets me are all the enclosed trailers, motor homes and semis etc. Does anyone haul their race cars on open bay period trailers? Not being hateful, just an observation.

    BTW, great pics, thanks for sharing. It's on my bucket list.

    Here you go Chris (ok, it's not a period trailer, but it's open :D). Tony usually hauls with a '47 Ford panel, but 800 miles each way is a long way with no A/C...

    Both of those full fendered Model As are bad ass.

    heh....I guess I'm one of the few who are dumb enough. 1700 miles each way. It was wet when we got to Rockford.

    It's in bad shape. It needs some tlc. The goal is to finish my tow vehicle, which should be done in a few months, then build a period trailer for it. Then address the car issues. I am leaning towards removing the radiator etc and make it period correct. It's way more driveable with the radiator, but it just looks wrong to me.

    Man, an enclosed trailer with some sort of AC would be a damn good thing. I was about ready to go snuggle up with redlineracer and his 110 AC window unit sticking out the back of his SUV.

    It was pretty rustic in the back 40... but we did have a fan.

    Maybe next year we can talk someone into dropping a port-a-john somewhere less than a quarter mile away.
