Your car is still on the same lift it's been on since December. It's mine that got taken off of it's lift when it went to the cage shop. That Mark guy "The Usurper" took my lift.

I saw your engine today. It's amazing. I told Tom to make mine look like that.

I figured you mean that if it were made of steel (rather than chrome moly) that it would have to be thicker... I think that is true, right?

Yes...thicker wall thickness but the tubing O.D. Could be the same.

chrome moly IS steel, a type of steel

I was just teasing you little

. It will be all good.
Thank you for your compliments about the engine!
Yours will look awesome, don't worry.

He is really really good, and because of that very busy.

There is no better mechanic. Please don't hit the mechanic!

Like Boost6924 said... he's the best, so he's very busy.

Yes, I knew that. I should have said "lower grade steel."

Boost6924 · 06-21-2012, 10:35 PM

Emma, your gage is made out of 4130 chrome moly, right?

T.

Trailer info... I bought mine yesterday, and it should be ready three weeks from now when I get home...

It's an open trailer with the racer box. The box is 35" front to back, 42" tall and 82 inches wide.

I upgraded the axles to 5200 lb axles... I got slightly conflicting stories from different vendors, that the trailer was between 2500 and 3000 lbs. throw a 4000 lb car on that and stuff in the box and you've exceeded the rated weight of the axles...

The deck has optional load lighting... I also opted for 4 wheels brakes, the split tail, and a removable fender on the driver side.

The steps in front of and behind the fenders are aluminum dianmond plate covered... and the deck edge is covered in Aluminum diamond tread plate trim.

The back of the trailer has a 4 foot dovetail... (slope down) and then the ramps are 6 foot long slide in ramps. There is a little trap door at the back that the ramps slide in and out of.. no dragging them out of the side and carrying them around to the back...

I ordered mine through the Texas Trailerman in Haltom City Texas, a suburb of Ft Worth... I know there are other vendors of the same trailer further north...

I am going to mount e-track on mine for tying the car down, but I'll do that myself. i will also mount a winch on it for those uh oh times...

Mine is going to be painted a burgundy/maroon metallic color everywhere except the deck which will be silver metallic...

I'm hoping it looks good with my truck and car...

Here are a couple of pics...

I can pm you contact info and pricing if you need or want... they also have the same trailer in a tilt bed configuration though it is a little pricier...

The bottom two are the eliminator tilt trailer. My trailer is the Challenger model... non tilt..
