Something I've run into along the way:

http://www.rqriley.com/frp-foam.htm

It's a nifty lil tutorial on using foam and glass, which I'm thinking of building my trailer from. I figure it'll keep the weight down enough on a Midget/Widget/Squidget/Tidget to enable it to be towed behind a high mileage '85 Lancer 4-banger, aka, my daily driver. I'm seriously thinking of trying a more 'traditional' design first to gear up for the M/W/S/T, get my technique down pat, and so forth. I'm just wondering what kind of glue I'll need to glue the wooden spars to the foam panels...


Did you see that car? I did some more reading and it's something called a Tri Magnum. Motorcycle/VW homebuilt hybrid. Looked pretty nice. I love bikes anyway though. Wonder about a homebuilt car pulling a homebuilt trailer....
Started many, finished none... Bought a TTT <Sigh> ;)
