Get e-trac installed the length of the trailer at track width. Makes it a breeze to secure the car with tire webs.

I recently trailer my SPF from LA to Northern California with an open trailer with no problems or damage to the paint.

I picked it up from a performance shop that had this 8" wide protection paper that is made to stick to the paint and protect it when working on these cars. We created a front bra with this material and stuck in around the cockpit then put the tonue cover on. No problems at all. I recommend looking for that protective paper. It will be well worth it.

I made the decision to pick it up myself vs. a transport based on me not wanting to wait. The cost of gas, food, and hotel was just as much as it would have been for a reputable fully enclosed and insured transporter.

Serpent Express now offers a "Retro Kit" to add the SE soft top to any open trailer.
See Serpent Express website for details.

Delivery time: about 3 weeks.

PS: The chicks dig 'em!

Hey Don,
I have been looking for the source in Fast's photo too, so far no luck. I have been to Featherlite, Big Tex and several others. Please post a link if you beat me to the source. THANKS All.

Email or call this guy. He is selling the trailer I posted pics of. My trailer has the exact front cowl as his but is not aluminum like his.

The Cargo Trailer Store - Open Auto Carriers for sale in Tampabay's Palmetto, Florida. Auto carrier, Car Hauler Tandem and Single axle trailers. Steve Covey Enterprises

I looked at the website for the company selling them but didn't find any info on it. My trailer was built by a small guy in oklahoma who owns a trailer store so I have no idea where he gets his parts. I told him I wanted a 20' trailer plus dovetail and a nice rock guard on the front and built me a 20' wood floor with that rock guard. I was happy! That company should be able to help you out.

More pics of the trailer can be found here Race Ads | For Sale: 2007 Featherlite 8'6" x 17 Car Hauler

I towed my boat about 40 miles with the cover on it. BAD mistake...better to leave the cover OFF! I drive the Cobra when I go...except the time I had to have engine work done...picked a day to tow it when there wasn't a chance of rain.
