Got the base frame for the race hauler laid out in Solidworks. Not at all prototypically correct but I had to C-notch the frame to make clearance for the axles if I'm going to run the Super Singles on the trailer. The print that was passed along to me showed that the frame should be 17" from the ground but my axle centerline would be at 21" and I needed a few more inches to allow for suspension travel. I'm not replicating any particular brand of hauler but combining elements that I liked from several. They all seem to share similar proportions in their basic design of the exoskeleton. I'll likely end up 3D printing this once we get established in our new house next month.

Not exclusive to this project but the I had searched high and low for larger opening wide hexagonal photoetch mesh material for my pro-touring projects and finally found some overseas that's a scale 3" on the openings. This will look great behind the grille of the LoneStar once I remove the vertical spines and in the front bumper opening.
