Looks good Josh.

I've got something similar sitting in the corner of my room waiting to be sandblasted and painted/powder coated.

Even more impressive then. I bought mine already made. It doesn't have a hitch but I'm not too worried about that as I want to modify mine to take a bike rack that I can just attach and remove fairly quickly.

that's one of the things im going to use it for. Can hold two bikes on the roof rack, then two more on the hitch one, then four people in the car /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

I'm hoping I can get away with the single rack for now and just stick Nathan's bike in the trunk. I might have to fit the roof rack when he gets a bit bigger though.

I hate to say this because it will make your head swell, but you have quite a good eye for photography! I'll leave the critical analysis of your technical skill to the experts but you seem to frame your 'subjects' very well.

Thanks Paul & Mike, still needs trailer wiring, im trying to find both plugs from the tail light harness so i can make a jumper harness, I don't want to cut into the wiring. Full plug and play or nothing.

that's a clean install, how much can you tow though?

Thanks guys. Who knows how much I can actually tow the hitch is strong enough that I could hang my car from it, but my room mate has hauled a LOT of sh*t with his CRX, so i'll be able to haul anything I need to. A trailer for motorcycles, mopeds, parts, etc etc. I would like a really small tear drop camper, but that probably wont happen.

he only moved the boat around the yard, but he did take a camping trip with a canoe, two bikes and sh*t, hauled a snowmobile to a swap meet and our new hot tub.

Only a Galant towing a Galant will make it perfect.
