    For a while I was working on a custom trailer project that was going to be the front 1/2 of a Magnum (fenders, hood, front fascia...etc).



    I had a bunch of the parts but never got very far cause I always wanted something else instead....and now I got it :)

    well looking at the pics i would say make a straight down cut just in front of the door then take some sheet aluminum and start making it closed off. just make sure it is well sealed. but thats just me. that and i would leave the doors being able to be opened so you dont have to dig through the whole trailer to get to the things in the front.

    Dahaha, Awesome! I remember Erik was thinking about that almost 2 years ago. Maybe Erik was just thinking about a trailer to get his stuff to the drag strip and we were all thinking about 1/2 of a Magunm... :grin:

    You know, Erik was going to use the front half too. What is it with people wanting to use the front half? If you used a front half would you point it forwards or backwards? I think the back half would look WAY cooler and you already have the lights and wiring taken care of.


    ...the BIG question is... are you going to put a roof rack on it?

    seating for 8

    cool idea - leave the seat in and you will have an articulated limo for 8.

    I just got my hands on a rear suspension cradle for the cost of shipping only in exchange for one of my custom clusters so now I have something to mount some wheels to it with.

    WHY would I put a roof rack on it, I don't want to ruin it now do I????? :)

    Hahaha, I'm going to be very dissappointed if it doesn't match perfectly down to the tiniest detail.

    Apparently it was used by a company that made molds for Chrysler...since it is an '07 I am assuming it was for the '08 updates

    AS TO THE INTERIOR PARTS:





    I am going to wait and pull all the parts out and then probably put them on Ebay with Links...I have had SO many people ask for stuff I can't keep track of any of it so I can't be fair with who gets what.

    Too cool... forget the trailer.... just cut your ride in half, add the new area, and throw on two more wheels in the rear!
