If you named your VXs the ORW & the MCS ... what's the trailer gonna be named???

BTW - you really should have copied the VX02 lines for the trailer. Wait, lemme help you out

MCS had to go to a new home...
...she got all petulant playing 2nd wife to the ORW!!

As for the trailer... maybe "The Pimp"...
..cause they tend to follow their girl around!

Hey Joe, is there any reason you decided to make it so small? I figured you would cut it at the firewall and keep it all the way up to the front doors. Just curious. Looks like it is moving right along.

Yup..a few reasons.

The frame was twisted back as far as mid door, windshield surround etc was toast...
....and top of firewall/back of hood area was buckled.

I did several photoshop renditions, chopping top..not chopping top etc etc...
..and basically...aesthetically liked the small 'pit trailer" look

It still embodies enough of the VX 'look' to be readily identifiable..
..its PLENTY big enough for Moab gear /spares etc...and perfect for hauling
location photo shoot stuff around.

Plus.. its small enough to store easily !!

I just had an excellent idea....

Keep the gas tank in the trailer and run a stout gas line to your VX. Now you just doubled your fuel capacity and will have less required stops on your way to Moab.

I'd need a hell of a long gas line...

....'cause Gill has the gas tank in Chicago to replace his rusted out one!!

Replace the tank with a keg

Cool, wow, that VX was toast! Yeah, I want to do this exact thing with a pre-87 Trooper 2dr. Someday.

Bart

PS - Billy, I like your keg idea.

[Cobrajet]

Replace the tank with a keg

But, you know somebody on the Stoop is gonna drink out of it!!

[Triathlete]

That's the idea! Why would you put gas in a keg?

I guess we are drunk's, Billy, cause I totally got it!!

I don't drink but figured I would help those that do

What!?!?! Just because you are a Triathelete, doesn't mean you can't cut loose once in a while!!
