Looking forward to seeing it. I have the plans in my head to add one for hauling the race tires and tools.

"Drive Happy"How about pulling a teardrop mini camper across the country on the back roads.
On my bucket list.We had two members in the old New Jersey Replicar club that had driven their TDr’s through all 48 continental US states. With their wives.
They were retired. And had taken two cross country journeys, one northern, one southern. Combined with “local” trips through New England they covered all 48.Both were front engine cars, Chevette based I believe. They pulled home made utility trailers (basically roof top cargo carriers bolted to small utility trailer frames).Great guys. Sadly, both have passed.Paul Mossberg

See the blacks angle iron behind bumper that is bolted to the frame where bumper brackets bolt.the the tube where the receiver slide in is welded to that .a bracket on top of tube is bolted to the bumper in middle.mine has a steel support inside bumper which made it very easy to bolt center support to.I used all steel harden bolts .I have pulled a motor cycle trailer whit my Harley ultra classic on it had no problems.
if you want I have some pics I took of the actual hitch and how its bolted under the bumper brackets, I don’t want to try and down load them on here so if u want ill email them to you , send me message in im with your email address ill send them to you.

She wouldn’t settle for a VW Westphalia and insisted on having a bathroom, and the Rialta is about the smallest thing with one..
