Default Looks Great

Martyn

I just finished reading through the thread on your adventure in building your carrier, for what it's worth from a newby at restorations your project looks great. Being someone who has truck loads of enthusiasm but a VW load of skill and just finishing my jeep you have done a superb job. I hope you post video's of it moving.

I imagine that if you published a builder's package that included detailed Engineer's construction drawings, study plans and materials lists you'd find a ready market among we (whether dreamers or do-ers) who are too far away to even think about giving you a commission.

There's a best-seller (even if the market is tiny) how-to booklet here at the very least.
