Building an 18' flat trailer car carrier/hauler with dove tail project part 5 DIY FINAL)

[@ldsdudeinca]

I know it's several years later... but you did a damn good job. I'm a metal job shop owner, and I'd be happy to see that run out of my facility.

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

Thank you brother. What's the name your shop? do you have a website?

[@coreystansbury5581]

about how much did you send in material for this project?

[@DerfOrNuffin]

Agreed beautiful

[@oby-1607]

Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. You did an awesome job on that trailer. I would be proud to have that behind my truck. The only thing I would add would be more tie downs as I have found there is never enough of them. Maybe use over-the-tire straps, and tie downs spaced out on each side. Thanks for the great build.

[@elmatamoros85]

Bro that's a damn good job I was thinking of buying a car hualer but now I think I'm going to build one I'm a welder by trade and have all the tools to do it 👌👌 you've inspired me thank you bro 👌👌

[@anthonym3852]

Bad ass build. You did a great job. Looks better than ones you can go buy. Love all the mustangs in the background 👍🏽👍🏽

[@jackheinemann8780]

Mate, you should be very proud of that. You've inspired me to give it a go myself.

[@noraque1336]

That trailer would look fantastic in my yard!! Love the custom winch mount!!

[@sugargoldy]

that looks awesome you did a wonderful job on that

[@eddiecabrera1408]

Awesome job my dude. You should get into the business. Your very talented

[@rickywright3894]

Trailer we had at my last job, we hauled scissor lifts, and our mini ex. Had the 2x8 wood floor and individual spring loaded ramps. We got under ours and ran all the wiring in conduit. It helped with snatching the wiring loose if we snagged them on something on the job. Beautiful trailer you got there!

[@TheRealWadeW]

My trailer has marker lights wired on the front of the fenders so you can see the sides of it when your pulling at night in the mirrors. Just a suggestion. Looks good!

[@ajestrab]

Great job on that trailer, looks great

[@jacemusgrove3073]

Dude, this is nice! C- nothing! It looks good! Tongue weight is good! Provides more usable area when loading oddly weighted cars.

[@lakeviewgarage3103]

I love the trailer you built. You did amazing work and it's just awesome. I have owned trailers and done fabrication for many years and I am truly impressed by what you have made. Great job!

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

+Matthew Gauvreau Thank you sir. My 12 year old son helped me through it all.

[@5.0ftw71]

Muscle cars and building trailers definitely subscribing brother

[@aussiejas6599]

LOOKS GREAT YOU DID THE BEST JOB BIG T-UP

[@mferrarorace]

You did a great job! In the driveway no less. Awesome!

[@brad1179]

Holy shit man, don't sell yourself short that's a amazing job especially doing it in your driveway! The only thing I would have added is 2 strips of non skid paint or maybe expended metal where the tires of the cars would go but I think it's awesome! I was thinking of building something similar and I thought perhaps I would need a drop style axle but you made it really nice with a straight axle.

[@AHMAD.ALAMOUDI]

Cheers from Saudi Arabia Thanks for sharing this videos. I really watched all the 5 parts & enjoyed every single moment of em. Now that's what I call a kick@$$ DIY project. Added to favorite already for future planning. My hats off to you dude :)

[@cobydm12]

That's a really nice looking trailer it looks better than one we bought at my house but now we are looking for a big Tex double car gooseneck

[@landybob8393]

Good job man. It’s nice to see someone take pride in there work

[@SW3434]

I would give you an A rating without a doubt....its looks amazing!

[@dougbourdo2589]

Damn fine build.

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

+Doug Bourdo Thank you sir.

[@Typhlosion100]

Being as your first build this is more professional than most I’ve seen or hauled that we’re built by companies. I’d buy one from you if you decided to custom make them.

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

Thanks brother. I'm thinking about building another one, version 2.0.

[@dpadget30]

ALLMUSCLE if you dont mind me asking, how much total did this cost you. Im building one for my sr project to pass highschool and was curious how deep in the hole ill be.

[@AkPacerPilot]

Good looking build... About to start mine in a week.

[@abajhalghamdi9219]

Very great job , thank you very much for sharing your experience and knowledge.

[@manuelrivera9724]

That trailer is beautiful man. Good job.

[@calebwilson4854]

That's a beautiful trailer! Looks like you did a great job.

[@richsargent7113]

Looks good! Nice job!! Right about the axles. I never go back any further than 1 foot of center. Most of mine are 3"s back of center!!

[@billyd2593]

been planning a similar build with strap/chain storage in the dove. excellent job man

[@robertgantry2118]

It's alright if the axles are kinda far back because that helps prevent sway. Looks very nice!

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

I like to put the cars facing backwards so the heavy part of the car is over the axles. Hardly any tongue weight on the truck. I love it.

[@JoeOBremski]

That is pretty bad ass. Motivates me to go build one myself.

[@srvafool]

That is one nice trailer. Great job!

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

+Alan Waggoner Good stuff. Thank you!

[@marksjunction69]

Wow.....you have inspired me!!!! Amazing job!!!

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@iveneverdonethisbefore8390]

Looks amazing.

[@bjornbolinder77]

Very nice work. Job well done. Have U thought about adding some kind of stabilizer jacks in the back? To keep from having the tongue lift up while loading. Damn that blue just pops. Love the color

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

+Bjorn Bolinder Thank you! Na. I just load it when it's hooked to the truck.

[@johnspencer9447]

That trailer looks stout. Nice job!

[@vettari]

looks good for first build. i got an old car hauler thats starting to rot on me. mine has an open centre on it. i am definitly going to redo the frame and get new checker plate.. mine has the square tubing and shes getting crunchy. so i think i will spend teh extra money and make the whole frame out of channel. nice vid

[@laven111]

very nice and professional work

[@timmcneil1536]

Wow, not bad. I think you did really nice job.

[@chrisao1987]

Damn bro that looks awesome

[@ron1martens]

Well built. Good job.

[@Arkansasdisc]

Good looking trailer, man.

[@badkarma2202]

I agree with Jason! Awesome job.!

[@stephenmcdaniel2477]

That is a fine trailer.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

VERY NICE TRAILER! GREAT JOB!!

[@tracyjames4125]

Heck yea, how's it pull? Damn good job thanks for the ride along!

[@boneil607]

put that nice winch in a tool box with a fairlead out theback to it stays out of the elements

[@alvindueck8227]

I like how you angled the tie downs. Goes more to how your chains will be angled. You pulled a bit of a bold move painting it blue like you did, but if you're not planning on selling it, reckon it doesn't really matter then eh?

[@tragicmagicMAN]

Great looking trailer!!!

[@aaronwood3540]

Looks really nice.

[@silverlowdo7233]

C minus or D brother that's an A in my book looks really good and seems to be built strong I know this is an older vid but had to throw my compliments

[@jonathanhester8958]

Great job, I would say it came out excellent for first trailer. I am planning to build same size with a dovetail over the upcoming winter. I'm also interested on your opinion of building your own to buy cost wise. Thanks for sharing and great job

[@canoelicker]

... nice work, looks great.

[@frankcadillac3272]

very good my brother......

[@andrewmartin3697]

Best trailer out there. How is it still holding up

[@londel1767]

beautiful build

[@roadrider6404]

Nice job! I built one a few years ago

[@Rubbernecker]

Nice build!

[@Helloreality101]

Nice job man!!

[@ahmad0522]

Awesome job.

[@westtexasconstruction]

Hell of a job man! 👍

[@jorginofingal4267]

Amazing brotha

[@jbreezy2297]

Awesome job!

[@stewartbanks3663]

Awesome Job👍😀

[@kss662]

great project 👍👍👏

[@drake34ish]

Don't mind me asking what does something like this cost you out of pocket doing it yourself? And it looks GREAT man!

[@MrMiller123]

7 years later, how far back are the axles from the ball? I think the trailer looks great btw.

[@GunBlue490]

What blade is on your chop saw? Nice welds!

[@gordylocks]

Wow! Thats pretty awesome job!!

[@stevebillow395]

very nice job. what was your way of centering the axles and how far back are they.

[@boyddelk6320]

Did not see your plans: steel sizes, lengths etc. Nice job.

[@dmorris8661]

Excellent job

[@SilentOneCorajuda13]

Very good job man. I wanna build trailers myself and sell them. But so far, its just an idea.

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

Well it could be profitable if you can get the parts cheap enough. Only way to get parts cheap enough I've found is to buy in large quantities.

[@danburch9989]

As another trailer builder points out, there's liability issues when you build and sell things in today's sue-happy, lottery seeking consumer. Each car that's sold probably has a $1,000 price tag added to cover lawsuits. But in any case, ALLMUSCLE gets an A+ for his build. Gotta be proud.

[@GotScout]

Gorgeous! More gaps for draining!!

[@drelaw2002]

Awesome dude....

[@frankcastle7777]

I like the over al design and what type of steel you used for what location on the frame. The color is different but cool. GOOD WORK BROTHER, GOD BLESS!

[@themeaningoflife38]

very nice trailer, you could try some torsion bars in front to take some tongue weight off

[@Jshu76]

Wow awesome. I'm thinking of making one myself. Can you give me a roundabout price it cost to build that.

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

3000. That was 6 years ago. I'm not sure what the prices are now.

[@CountyGarage207]

I know this is 6 years later, but how much did the bulk of the materials cost? I'm thinking of building one this summer

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

About 3k

[@rubenbarrera5275]

good job bro,very nice.

[@chevyman36st]

turned out Badass bro.. 👍

[@djokokonik]

Good job but I have a question could’ve you split the axle one to the front and back just curious

[@wolfhawaii1]

Very nice job! I would be interested to know where you got your axles/brakes and rims, as I am in American Samoa and nothing is available new locally.

[@carlschmiedeke151]

You can still move the Axel's so I asked in you unfinished video what but there was no way for you to know yet , so now that it's done , what's the total weight, but great job

[@sir_forsaken1857]

Well I think it came out in the category of excellent.

[@wilassguess]

It is a really nice trailer what was the cost and what is the GWVR on the trailor? thanks

[@Alvin_41_]

Very nice trailer, I only see a couple things you need to fix! Turn the reflective tape around! White forward, red back!

[@Neverjinxed]

+Alvin8232 I found this an unusual piece of information that never would have occurred to me. What is your reasoning for that?

[@taylorfalance2033]

Great looking trailer! I am getting ready to build something similar do you think that I could get away with using 3x3 square instead of using 3x4?? I just happen to have a few sticks of 3x3

[@jimmysroadlyfe]

Excellent build and nothing to be ashamed of. Tip: reduce tongue weight by backing the car on instead of pulling it on. Great job.

[@iamremy-kl3xm]

awesome job bro..!!!

[@SaltCityFab]

Nice job! How much does it weigh?

[@sylvainlacoste]

Very nice!

[@bubbyhardy6135]

Very nice job man. You should be proud of that thing. Any idea on total cost of your build if u dont mind answering?

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

Just under 3k

[@dannyo1966]

Sell this one for a few thousand, you should get that for it, take what you learned from this one, then build the next one incorporating all the design changes you came to realize from building this one to make the next one perfect. Incidentally, I like the color. Make the next one a bit darker blue. Overall, it's a good looking trailer. Great job for your first time out. I was told that when it's properly loaded, 1/4 of the weight of the load should be on the tow vehicle.

[@Cake41579]

I’m sure you might know by now. If you extend the front a frame to extend down the sides to the front of the axles, it gives a much stronger trailer.

[@c-mediagroup8311]

NICE WORK!

[@carltrano1325]

Well done

[@Kallaus_built]

Looks great!

[@ALLMUSCLEUSA]

Thanks!

[@n2339l]

Nice work!

[@blacksmith421]

Look Great, Haul with Pride
