Topic: Bench racing again, bike trailer ideas,

[Don R]

 I'm still thinking of building a bike trailer for those times when I want 1 or 2 bikes somewhere but it's raining, winter or farther than my wife will ride. I saw a picture of a really cool one on facebook that had doubled up fenders from a 30/40's car over the wheels. kinda like faired wheels on an airplane.

 I built a jr dragster trailer once that used rubber torsion axles. The tongue was hinged and had a screw jack so it needed no ramps, that's the direction I'm going but want as low as possible to keep the bikes out of the wind. A set of 15x4 1/2" 10 spoke mags would look good too with some VW size tires, I'm thinking 1,000 lb axles and 39 ford teardrop or willys/indian taillights. 
 Maybe the axles on a subframe and airbags that let the trailer kneel?  Any more crazy ideas?

Don,
sounds like a nice trailer you have planned.
I just had mine rebuilt. It has a 1981? Dodge Caravan rear end I believe. My brother got it from a friend 24 years ago.
He rebuilt it 15 years ago.
Once when I was working on a house, the person recognized it as one they used to have 30+ years ago.
