New Car Hauler

By -

After the sale of our 48' car hauler we shopped for a smaller trailer and bought a new Wells Cargo 24' enclosed car hauler.












We went to the Wells Cargo manufacturing facility in Phoenix last Friday (July 20th) and picked it up the went to Hot Rods By Dean to visit the Kaiser that is getting finished slowly, but will be ready for Good Guys Scottsdale show in November

During last week I painted the walls with Spar Urethane to bring out the natural wood grain, smooth finish and easy to clean.  Then painted the floor with lt. blue epoxy floor paint added black stripes as a tire guide when loading the cars.

Installed cabinets from Home Depot and a 5000 lb. wench from Harbor Freight, a battery to run the wench with all the wench controls, relays, etc in the battery box.


I made a spare tire mount from extra pieces of steel I had in the shop and a couple of axle studs and welded it together,

last but not least mounted the fire extinguisher next to the side door.

Saturday June 18 we took the 51 to  the Yavapai Classic Cruisers car show at Mile High Middle School in Prescott AZ. We left the house at 5:30 AM as it's a 2 hour trip to Prescott and the show started at 8 AM, all went well except one of the trailer tires had a large blister on the side of it when we arrived at the show. I carry 2 spares in the trailer and changed the tire after I unloaded the car, checked in and had the car set up.  They had over 200 cars show up for the Fathers Day show and a good verity like this willies Gasser and chopped 34.  Chopped and channeled rat rod I think it started out as a Chevy.  1953 Kaiser like Karens Kaiser except this one is stock with a Chevy V8 in it.  Nice stock 46 Hudson coupe.  Model A very nicely done.  This Pierce Arrow Limo was a parts car when this owner bought it and made a hot rod with a Pontiac, automatic trans. and 9" rear end it also has the privacy glass behind the driver and a TV in the back
