"Musclecar love seat". Thats so cool Bearcuda. I love it. Thanks.

 

Uh oh, he's off to chop up another one. The best would be a 59 Cadillac love seat IMO.

Thanks.    The paint is comming soon... I hope... 

Still got to smooth out the body a little more. The plan is to make it to Carlisle finished or not.

Welding Service bumper sticker is covering rust, it will be staying for now. 

Welding Service is my friends shop, where it was made.

Sorry, but the trailer will not get paint before Carlisle, good news is I will bring it. 

One last option may become a needed requirement though. Trailer brakes. I have looked at many options here too. Hydraulic surge brakes (trailer is too light), electric brakes (wont work, unless I use a trailer axle) and  electric over hydraulic.

It looks more like if I need to put brakes on this thing, it's going to cost. The electric over hydraulic is the way do go. Get a controler for in the car for electric brakes and a electric/hydraulic actuator. Then reinstall shoes and hardware in the drums on trailer and install lines. I left the hard lines on the axle and the flex line and wheel cylinders are still there. 

A new wire harness will be needed also, it's got a 4 wire setup now.

Anyone out there into trailers?

If you have front discs there is no way you should need brakes on it.  How heavy can it be?   

[purple1]

The car has factory power disk up front. Still these little cars stop in front of me and just scares the cr... out of me sometimes. We guessed it is only about 700 - 800 pounds unloaded.
