New Trailer
I just got my new trailer for the vette. The guy did a great job and the price was reasonable considering all the custom work. He did a great job on the paint job too, you can't really see it on the pictures but there are Chevy bowties on the stake pockets and the heartbeat logo. He also painted "Corvette" on the front grill.
The five foot dovetail on the back along with the five foot ramps makes it a brease when putting the car on and off the trailer. He also did a neat thing with ramps. In one of the pictures you can see a big wrench, that is what locks the ramps in place. When you lower the wrench, it frees the ramps so you can take them out. The ramps also go in lengthwise at the end of the dovetail which is really nice. Most of the trailers I looked at that had dovetails you had to slide then in on the side of the trailer.
If you are in the midwest and are looking for a nice trailer, look him up. He is great to work with and does fantastic work. His name is Chris Durand and his website is http://buydurand.com

Nice pictures; thanks for the various angles.
The color match is a great contrast with the car onboard. Those removable fenders will make life so much smoother. Looks well-engineered. Definitely a sexy looking trailer, too! Woo-hoo!
Bet you will enjoy many years of good service out of that unit. Have you had one before to help move gear around? Wish I hadn't waited so long before finding mine; it has been invaluable.
Congrats!
