    Has anyone seen a trailer made out with the back part of a maverick?
    I wondered how hard it would be to build a really nice one out of a car destined to be a parts donor.
    It would have to be built very nice to pull behind to car shows.
    It might sound nuts but I have seen this done with other cars and I like what people have been able to come up with.
    Am I crazy?

    I've seen pictures of a trailer made out of a Falcon before. It was done very nicely.

    I've got pics of a 65 Mustang and an old Studebaker done like that. The Studebaker is unbelievable!!! Mustang was okay.

    Probably would have to use a 4 door to make it flow right.

    It's funny this thread was started. I have two shells that I was planning to make trailers out of and have been talking about it for atleast a year (ask the Oklahoma guys who are tired of hearing me TALK and want to see some WORK). One is a 2 door and one is a 4 door. I agree with Jamie, I think the 4 door will make the better trailer and I bought it AFTER I had found the 2 door. I haven't started on this other than just thinking about it. As slow as I work, it'll be a while, but I'll finish sometime. I'd really like to use the front half of some front fenders, but I can't visualize how to do the roof.
