Hey everyone, our Eshelman funny car is done, complete with lights, siren and bell.
Now for the tiller-steer trailer... The following list is a best first guess...
14 foot long, the two main beams are 2”x3”x 0.065” (16 ga) steel.
Clown Tillerman at the rear seat with steering.
8 foot fixed ladder, able to set up and climb a few steps and wave an American flag.
Stabilizers that are 3 feet long each, plus a tongue jack pad.
Rear brakes on each wheel, rotors with solenoid calipers, when the driver applies the brakes, all six wheels brake at the same time.
Lights, buzzer intercom, electric brakes and a bell on the trailer.
As light as possible.
12-15” tires.
Powdercoat red to match the Eshelman tractor.
I’ll work on pictures, I promise. I have an Eshelman ride video in my photos, working on a way to post it.

Rear steering is my first hurdle to jump.
