I would suggest making the wheel tracks adjustable- they could slide inboard or outboard on perpendicular cross rails. Maybe something that is hand cranked to adjust and then locked in place. This way you can adjust for whatever track width you need.

Been waiting a long time to see the video of the transporter, that will be very interesting to see once finished. I also have a rare fibreglass car, a 1963 Gilbern GT1800. Made right here in Wales, our only car made here. Mine is one of only 202 built. Needs a lot of fibreglass work! But I also enjoy your rebuild videos. It does inspire to too get mine finished! Keep up the good work there.

I saw that thing at Deam Moons shop in Santa Fe Springs, Ca around 1976. At that time it was no longer in use. It had been damaged at another location from one of our famous earthquakes. I've always had a penchant for odd rods... & that thing has been etched in my brain ever since. Another side note is that good friend of mine owns the old Troutman & Barnes building next to the Orange County Airport but I am sure that location came much later than the transporter build. Would love to see that thing in its glory again.

Im a little late to this but being that a transporter is essentially a "tool" and its previous owners modified it to move what they moved, it would be cool to leave the wheelbase and set the tracks at a more "average" distance to be able to haul more than just tiny 30s-40s racecars. If it was a racing car itself I'd be in the "totally original" camp but this is a utility vehicle, this thing could make any non running hunk look cool just by holding it

I was interested to know about this hauler, but got totally lost in the talk until I had to tune out. Next time try to fix the camera in place facing you at a normal range and tell the story clearly with no side obversations or quips.

I saw that thing at Deam Moons shop in Santa Fe Springs, Ca around 1976. At that time it was no longer in use. It had been damaged at another location from one of our famous earthquakes. I've always had a penchant for odd rods... & that thing has been etched in my brain ever since. Another side note is that good friend of mine owns the old Troutman & Barnes building next to the Orange County Airport but I am sure that location came much later than the transporter build. Would love to see that thing in its glory again.

Im a little late to this but being that a transporter is essentially a "tool" and its previous owners modified it to move what they moved, it would be cool to leave the wheelbase and set the tracks at a more "average" distance to be able to haul more than just tiny 30s-40s racecars. If it was a racing car itself I'd be in the "totally original" camp but this is a utility vehicle, this thing could make any non running hunk look cool just by holding it
