RE: NZ Hot Rod TD until 2-6-12

Interesting take on a non-traditional TD with more modern lines,
a partial lifting roof and a 'bustle' galley in the rear.

On a NZ auction site until 2-6-12:

That one doesn't grab me either... BUT, there is one tear that someone has (I believe on this site) that REALLY looks like a hearse and it was SPECTACULAR!!!

I like it too.

But then, I'm drawn to the pop-up, pop-out type designs.

Wonder how much it weighs.

Looks like a hearse trailer built for a remake of the the TV series The Munsters.

The rear aerodynamics are completely shot.

But nice, quality work!

Me too. Love the look and functionality of pop up/outs.

You're right. The aerodynamics are equally as bad.

This is blasphemy in this forum, I'm sure, but not everybody prefers the traditional teardrop shape.

Especially not me. I prefer cargo trailers with AirTabs.
