stag trailer
I am going to build a trailer for my Stag using the tail section off my parts car . I have no problem in building the trailer , but I am trying to come up with a front end for the trailer that will look unique .. Any suggestions?

Re: stag trailer
Mark, do you have any of the front sheet metal to spare as well? Most of the "car body" trailers I've seen looked best with either two rears or a front and rear joined over the wheel. The Stag has enough front overhang to match the rear pretty well, so the trailer would be both visually and physically well balanced.

Re: stag trailer

Re: stag trailer
Well in looking into the idea the one of making a trailer like the ones pictured is the weight. so i my way if thinking if i take a rusted stag/tr6/tr4 etc make molds i can make light weight trailers and other things with out destroying cars and have them be lightweight. who would be interested in that type of trailer?

Re: stag trailer
Hi Mark, check out my trailer. Subject is "Spitfire Trailer". Its on page one of the Triumph forum. I fabricated the front out of steel. As you know, the Spitfire back half is like a Stag in design only smaller.
