Got the new trailer tricked out
I picked up my new trailer last month and have been working on it for a while. All practical purposes it's 98% completed.

Lookin Good !! Those interior ramps will certainly make it easier to get in and out of the car as well as tie it down. Are you going to make any provisions for a tire rack for a spare set of wheels and tires ?

"Did you have the interior ramps custom built or were they a mfg. option?"
I built and finnished the ramps myself.
"Are you going to make any provisions for a tire rack for a spare set of wheels and tires ?"
My plan with extra tire/wheels are to strap them down with tie downs and e-track on the floor

"How did you build the ramps??"
I used 2x6 runners and and one in the center with reinforcement at the wheel parking spots and toped with 3/4" 7 layer finish grade plywood. Then covered it with 16 gauge alum. diamond plate

Beautiful job and nice looking vette too. I think I might have to copy your ramps. I have the 3rd door in my trailer, but never use it because my vette sits too low to open the driver's door.

When is the event in Newton? Is it on their infield course?

Now that's a nice ride for the vette. Now you just need some killer graphics for that dude. If you need any designed, just let me know and I'll totally hook you up!

Trailer looks great! Nearly identical to what Brittain's trailer looks like, I think he was the first around here to build the ramps inside the trailer and what a difference it makes when it comes to getting the car tied down. What are you using to tow that beast?!
Hopefully I'll see you at Southridge, unfortunately I'll be out of town for the Newton event...
