Pete 359 Car Hauler

[bonehead23]

I got the Pete as soon as it hit the shelf, and had an old box from an ancient LN-8000 city delivery...so i shortened the box, frame, and bed, moved the axles forward, and dug out an old Great Dane extendable trailer from ages ago. i cut it down a bunch and fitted it into the box. Now you open the door, imaginary hydraulics push the bed out and it becomes a loading ramp; then you crank the inner ber back inside using a '34 pickup towing boom winch and some thread...it works! This is the Black Widow racing team rig, with the Black Widow Allison-powered digger in back. The "mock-up" model is a Slingster streamliner but was replaced later with the Widow. I got this idea from Googling Tommy Ivo's rigs.

Sharp looking rig

Now this is cool. Your definitely thinking outside the box. These petes are so smooth to build. I have a case of them. You do very nice work!

Another interesting build......Nice work.....I like the open side panels....That's a pretty cool idea....

[bonehead23]

The side openings are filled with clear sheet plastic! This is not quite like Tommy Ivo's Dodge, but the idea came from that rig.
