Our thanks to Carmelo for an awesome job on the Canadian Pantera trailer. He made our dreams come true and we thank him and the guys at Inter Propane for their great work building this so all of us could ride in style.

Fortunately for us, Carmelo’s cat was all done and since he had nothing to do this winter but work, he entertained himself with the engineering and construction of a very solid and well designed transporter for 6 Panteras.

The tracks and fittings were made made to accommodate all of our early and late model cats.

Not only will this save us a lot of wear and tear, but now we can attend those more distant events and - our wives will have room to bring their stuff!

The trailer inside is just about complete. All that’s left to do is finish patching the top section then paint it all white, install the light fixtures and floor tracks. The lifts are great and work beautifully.

The exterior was being sandblasted today and prepped for paint and graphics next week. A new rear door, frame and plate are being worked on now.

Pocono will be our first event and we’re looking forward to it. Carmelo’s drivers will be on the road picking us up.

Door to door Pantera service. How cool is that?

Carmelo's buddy at Grand Prix Import got us a deal on these Technolifts. There are two at the rear of the trailer and at the front are fixed upper and lower rails.

We just bought the posts and rails system. The hydraulics are custom and run each unit independently.

Very solid and secure how it is installed. Each post is welded to the side plates. Angles connect each to the floor. And the the feet are bolted through the chassis. Carmelo did a super job with the design.

That is Very, VERY, cool.
If you guys are agreeable, that trailer could give us western guys at least a fighting chance of coming to Kingston. I'd love to talk about that possibility when you guys are here in June. Speaking of June, Deeb, do you know who is coming from the east?
I say again, what a great idea that trailer is !

So dudes. Cats or no cats? A or B?

If you choose B, the cats will not be white but will be yellow, blue, red, etc. (Mark and I just happen to have a lot of white car pics around here).

But that also means we will rely on you to provide us with "super hi resolution perfect side view" images of your coloured cats - files that are big enough to produce giant vinyl panels.

Does anyone have such hi res images we can use?

I like B
A great way to show that Canadian car guys know how to do it "right"
Proudly flying the maple leaf ain't a bad thing either

But seriously, doesn't it make you guys a little bit nervous that you're going to advertise to the world that this trailer is full of expensive cars? I might be slightly tempted to leave it looking like s**t on the outside so nobody gives it a second glance.
On the other hand, the graphics look awesome and the trailer probably won't be left unattended out in the open anyway.
What ever graphics are put on and where ever it goes it will certainly announce, proudly, that the Canadians have arrived.
I love it
Doug M
