It's hillarious to know that the biggest baddest 'Super Snake' on the road can't touch you. lmao

Hey Robert! I have the exact same trailer as you but mine doesn't have the box on it, I bought it when I was in Texas & they didn't have one with a box at the time. I took a ton of pictures of your box at The Mile so I could copy it, my buddy is a sheet metal guy & I can paint it myself. Here is where I ask for a favor! Could you measure the height & width of your box for me? Also the height & width of the doors? If you don't have the time I understand & if you can I owe you! Trying to get it built before I head out for Camarofest.

I'll have that for you tomorrow... My trailer is at a boat shop in McQueeny Texas having some lights installed... I'll run out there and get that information for you... Bare in mind... The deck is 23 feet overall. The box is three feet front to back... And that's the front three feet of the deck.. The trailer is 28 feet from the dove tail back to the ball...I'll measure it all, and let me know if you want a winch like mine.. I have a hook up on them... It's 3700 lbs rated... I'm going to run some welding connectors from my truck batteries... Plugs so I can run the winch directly off the truck rather than having a second battery that I always have to pull off and recharge...

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I have the exact same trailer without the box, I got lucky that they had the long deck sitting on the lot. If I would of called in advance they would of ordered it with a box but I needed it right then to tow my car home, I couldn't wait 5 weeks for them to build it. The prices out there are way better than here so I took it knowing I'd just build my own. Your idea for the winch power is exactly what I wanted to do also, that would be awesome if you have a winch connection, I was thinking of buying a cheap Harbor Freight one hoping I'd never need it. Race Cars never break right?

Lololololol... Nah, they never break. Or is it brake... Loud pedal vs chicken pedal... Only problem is the loud pedal leads to quiet times... I'll get ahold of my resource and have it ready for you at the Fest... If you want, I'll bring some hardware and tools and we can install it while there...

Bro, it's what we do... You don't owe me anything... I'll bring the cable end fittings as well that you can mount on the bumper and run the winch off the vehicle battery... It's how I'm setting mine up... A battery powered drill and some hand tools... And a die grinder to cut the slot in the box for the fair lead... No big deal... Then have your friend build a weather shield and pop rivet it on with some silicone caulk to keep water out...
