Getting Hitched....

As we are getting closer to finishing the Willy's up, we still had a couple of small items to address.  One of those being a trailer hitch.  As with everything on this car, it proved to be difficult and fought us the entire way.  Everything interfered and there was nothing to bolt it to.  For a car this large, you would think that there would be plenty of room....

We started with a random Reese hitch from Summit Racing's bargain table.  I had not idea what it fit but it looked like it was easily adaptable.  The best place to bolt it to is obviously the frame, so we came up with some offset brackets to accomplish this.  The biggest huddle was working around the gas tank.  Its so tight against the frame that you cannot get the hitch bolts in with the tank installed.  So, this means that the tank has to be installed after the hitch.

Overall, I don't think it didn't turned out too bad and its plenty strong enough to handle what ever the customer feels like dragging around...
