I can't compete with some of those rigs (...edit: ANY of those rigs - lol), but here's how we started out:











We thought we were "big time" when we built this open trailer in 1967:

I still have the old tow bar, so I added a hitch to the Grand Prix so that I could do this (pics taken May, 2010):






I still have the red truck and the open car trailer, too (disregard the Lo-Boy for the purposes of this discussion):

Here is the hauler we built for our 81 Pro Stock Camaro from an old tractor we found in a junk yard. We build the box out of aluminum tubing and covered it in prepainted aluminum sheets.

Along the lines of less flashy, lower budget, but effective....

The Brooklyn Heavy car hauler in the very first post(top pic)is now owned by Dan Palchanes. He brought I to my friend's shop a few years back and Heavy came down and took pictures with it and signed off on it. It would be great if my recent efforts to authenticate and buy Heavy's Harrell built 70 Camaro ever pay off.
