new project...sorta O/T

[Track-T]

Starting a new biz, sorta of interest to rodding.
going to be building single wheel trailers to tow without jack knifing
while backing.it will mount to the back in two places and the wheel
spins to follow where your going...
pic is one like I'm doing, mounts are different and a bit smaller...

That is like the old trailers I used to see behind cars when I was a kid. Seems like they were bigger, but I was smaller then too.

 

[Tripper]

Yeah... we had a thread on this way back... or maybe on KB. I think the Bonehead posted several photos... wasn't one a rigged up wheelbarrow?!?

Very Nice !!!

Yeah, those are cool.
I had an Allstate one, from the '50's, back in the mid 80's and
towed it behind our Mustang for family vacations.
They are great little trailers. '22

those things are kinda neat..saw one on back of a 40's street rod/custom at a car show near here last summer, i believe it was a sears? - it had been restored and the owner had an old sales brochures of them from "back in the day" keep us posted on your progress!

I saw a nice Coleman one on an auction last spring. I think it brought around 300. I also remember them back in the 60s and 70s. It wasn't too unusual to see that wheel doing a high speed shimmy like a wore out shopping cart does.
I think they are cool and would have a market

I could use a few of those to bring my kids when we go to the car shows with my truck. Just picture it, 3 of us in front (wife, baby and I) and 4 of those little trailers tagging along behind us.

You mean like this? There's actually a dog back behind the bike in the trailer. See the bubble around his head? This is a good friend of mine and a rat rod builder himself who adapted his bike trailer to carry his dogs in Oregon.
