A little bit of a mockup:  One problem I encountered....Tail drag!!! Yep, it sits on its back bumper! I'll need to add weight to the front, like the wingy guys do to their planes!! |

Missed this one too. At first I thought you were making a Couch out of it.  Bookmarked, Bud. |

A propane bottle on the tongue of the trailer would give you somewhere for the weight to be hidden... or a small ice chest...  |

Spare tire filled with some lead sitting on the tongue frame would work .

Here is a Continental Kit on a '65 Thunderbird:  Several of the old JoHan kits had these spare tire kits in them. I have a couple different versions in the parts bin. I'll dig them out and see what goes! |

I fished around in the spare parts bin, and came out with this:  The five parts on the left make up the Continental Kit. Check out those crazy skirts still on the sprue!! These parts all came from a JoHan 1963 Plymouth Fury customizing kit. Old School, sure enuff!! I'll see if this conti kit will work on the trailer. |

The skirts don't fit the GTO fenders. I just showed them for nostalgia reasons!! |
