+trying to get back to Finishing the car hauler

I'll post what pics I have for now> lost a bunch
here she is half naked> got some paint on her
got most of the cargo area done , using alum aircraft flooring panels ( to save some weight)
front suspension is all new
adding extra cross member for the rear tank
got rid of the 73 in cab tank

Id show you her rear end, BUTT, it's gone in this pic

pulled the 4.10 rear changed to a 3.07

next was a "Face Lift"

73 floors were rotten,
and didn't want to patch in the needed parts on the firewall,

So, married her to a 93 CTD club cab
kept her 73 Head lights and grill

93 front section

73 section for the the rear

get her belly primed and painted, back in one piece
#ad


engine and 5 speed, just camping out
#ad


exhaust system is on> straight pipe, come out behind the passengers rear tire

did take a 4" diameter pipe the welded it to the 3" pipes to make it look like a muffler.

life side tracked me from the hauler
and racing season, now that is closed
So Time to git her done
Electrical and fuel, hang the doors, and glass, ready for paint this spring

even if I can get half of her in there > 27' long

years of abuse,
broken windshield
moldy carpet, lots of cancer

only way to save her was major surgery

[draginmopars]

had to dig way back in the history books, to find these

here's what she looked like
before going under the knife

#ad


didn't like the new grill
cause it clashed with the 73 Cuda Tail lights

Nice project. You dont see many old Dodge car haulers these days. The Cummins will be perfect for that job.

Nice. I hope it would be ready till now. You may also check this site out to look at the different types of car hauling trailers. Vehicle shipping companies have various options depending on the type of vehicles need to be transported. You may take many ideas from there too.
