DPDISXR4Ti Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I was out there a couple weeks ago - just a mere humid 94 degrees that day, but at least the typical Hazleton breeze was blowing to keep some of the sweat off my brow. A typical rusty Brat was in the foreign car section - some stuff gone, but not a "carcas car" yet. Go get the rear-end and you can copy my efforts to build a utility trailer!

DPDISXR4Ti Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Brad,you bailed out on the hybrid? Got trailer pics? Nope, not at all Mr. Moose! In fact, I've acquired a different (rust-free) Merkur for that project, just to make sure I'm starting from a worthy foundation. The trailer project getting priority was driven by: 1) Need for a utility trailer sooner rather than later (Duh...) 2) Brat rear-end sitting around with no other purpose 3) Some assorted structural angle iron getting in the way in the garage 4) Time to complete this project should be ~20 hours If you don't count the cost of the Brat, the total cost of this project will be close to ZERO. I think the only thing I'll actually need to purchase is the ball-joint hitch. No pics yet, but I was just thinking about that today, now that I've got most of the cutting completed. I'll post them once I do - it doesn't look like much right now, as nothing is bolted together. If things go well this weekend, it will at least look like a trailer by Sunday.
