Default Re: AMC Pacer 1975-77

It had some collector value, but going off the color and hubcaps it was originally with a Turbine truck. The original sets of plastic cars usually go for more $$ than a car-hauler trailer anyway. I don't think they'll mind.

Chassis structure is getting widened with some 1/8" plates. (I still like the looks ya get from the guys driving too fast and careless "Oh man, i'm sorry i almost hit yours." Meh, my truck is full steel... you'd go crunch, i might get a dent?)

Upper deck and ramp will probably get some 16g for adding width. If i raise the roof it'll probably get some 1/8" in the pillars. If i pop the top, the Ramp-lengthen parts won't be much fun to make wheel guide profiles.

I figure a Car-carrier should be made to fit an AMC Pacer. It was "Americas first WIDE small car."

I like the blue, i'll probably try for similar color if i can't incorporate a nice looking 2-tone scheme. Longer term, a pair of Actuonix could handle tilt and little servo for ramp.

Yeah, Single-rear axle big trucks was a lot more common then, and vehicle gross weights weren't cranked way up yet
