Between the trailer -- and the options and choices on the toter -- it's amazing all the little things to discuss.

Came up with a 36' gooseneck stacker -- which gives me 36' of upper deck -- which will take the Mustang and the '32 and have 2' of dead space between the rear - the middle and the front... both of these cars are only 51 or 52" tall -- and the upper deck is 57". Since I'm doing an "internal" lift -- I can actually vary that space for the car on the back end a little.

I measured the MBZ -- that big ole POS is 17' long and 58" tall -- so it will have to ride on the main deck... which will be 28' -- and that's plenty with cabinets etc up front... and room for spare tires etc.

The tailgate is hydraulic -- but that's just to open and close since it's not a lift gate.

I'm also having two axles -- @ 14,000# each -- and 22.5" wheels... and they'll be spread axles.

I'll have a better idea -- and a line item list -- on Tuesday for all the other stuff. I have to tell you guys -- this is kinda fun to say the least! And I can assure you that we'll all put this bad boy to good use!

congrats Greg, you'll have a ball with this setup.
