Well,it started out as a small trailer i picked up somewhere and i added to it. Wanting to somehow convert a fly truck into a car hauler. I asked opinions on stance and here is where I am so far. Any opinions on what i need to do next? does it look like a car hauler? Thanks to all, jd OK,how's it looking so fasr? i want it to look like a real hauler. JD

I like the over the top better than the long overhang look. Re: Pete's idea, I know it would be a lot more work, But I might also consider lengthening the bed on the truck and dropping in another set of (un-driven, idler) wheels in tandem. Greg

I'd lengthen the chassis and the body of the truck. You have flat sides to work with between the wheels, it could be made to look perfect I think.

Low bridges as said above, but also just general appearance. Wheel base gotta be longer. looks out of ballance that short. I've tried to find a ste with transporters, but all I get is euro stuff from the 50's-60's. Anyone know of another site to see samples? Anyone can restore a classic car, but it takes a real Hotrodder to cut one up and make it cool!

In this pic you can get an idea of what you can do if you stretch that Fly truck out. Doug 1:1 Scale slot car, 67 Coronet, 471 CID 11.93 @ 114MPH
