Long story short, last year was my first autocross season and I went all out in mods more than I expected but I had a BLAST! That being said the hook has been inserted and will not come out.

With the addition of my wife wanting to get into a husband-/wife race team (I was ecstatic when she was willing/wanting to at least try) the old 95 Z will get double the runs. My stock 68k mi diff on khumo v710's gets angry and a trailer will serve as a safety net is something breaks.

So I wanted to come to the masters of Fbody racing and all that is involved. Here are some questions I had running through my head.

What to look for in a used trailer off craigslist? (I prefer double axle electric brakes)
I assume at least a 7ft wide x 16ft long. 18ft would be ideal with a 3ft dove tail?
Thoughts on "home made" trailers?
I would like to keep this $1200 and under but know of a trailer proven to work for a Fbody/Z06 owner that bought a new 18ft w/ 3ft dovetail trailer for $2000.

I'm "iffy" on buying a trailer that has been sitting in someone's back yard under a tree with rust etc on it from the simple fact of how well the wheel bearings/elec brakes are holding up. Given a trailer's function, I'm hesitant to buy someone's junk lol.

I won't have an option but to store it outside in the back yard. I only have a 2 car garage and my wife's car and mine gets in there.

I would/could wrap a tarp over it during the winter months along with taking the tires off and leaving it on blocks. Take any precaution to "winterize" it lol.

I'm lowered on strano springs so I somewhat expect to scrape the splitter and MAYBE the midpipes But it is what it is. Friend of mine with that 18" with 3ft dove tail sais he has no issues scraping on his lowered RR/AutoX Camaro (fbody as well) and even his lowered 03 Z06.
