Default From Flat Bed to Low Loader

Right now we have a seller in EBay who sells a kit that changes the Tamiya flat bed into a low loader.
Very nice parts, powder-coated but the folks buy that thing for more than 250.- Euros, that´s about $325.-!! My opinion, a little bit too much for five metalparts, so I started to use some of the original frame parts and built the low loader by myself.
Here´s some pics:

I cut off the rear end of the frame, used some aluminium and lowered the trailer that way.

The parts for the front-end had to be built completely from scratch:

So I build this trailer at a cost of $30.- for some Material instead of more than $300.-! Now I will add some details and that´s it!!
