Thanks David. It would be nice if there was a new version issued by some one. Thanks Frances I don’t move any of my transports with cars on them just for that reason lol. -

Dave checking my references on the hydraulic lines and it’s hard to see them so I’m not sure what I’m going to do with them yet. Today I was able to get some good bench work in. I was able to get the middle ramp built and did some work on the rear ramps. As you can see I now have all 7 cars loaded up on the trailer. Still have some clean up work to do and then start the painting. -

I’ve worked on the upper front support. Next ramp will be the lower middle and I’m going to have to make this one movable so I can get the Charger in and out. Again thanks for everyone’s comments. More to come this weekend and on Friday night our HAMS club meeting is focused on bringing your Truck to work on. I think I have it covered lol. -

After being away for the week with work I was looking at what I thought would work but would of blocked the access to the front car but after more studying of trailers today I now have a new plan on how to get the middle rack work. It’s a lot more work but I think it will make it work and be correct. I should have more progress updates to show at the end of the weekend. -

Thanks Jeff, I’ve been there to with looking at the bench but now my problem is getting time to go to the bench. Thanks Jurgen, I have spent a lot of time just looking at the different transporter pictures to figure out how and where to put everything . With this transporter I’ve been looking at the pictures for about a year to determine how I was going to build this one. And I’m still looking at them lol. -

Thanks Dave. Thanks Carl. It’s very stiff now so I don’t think I will have any problems with a full load on it. I’m only getting a couple hours on the weekends so my paint is still a ways away. -
