Wood? I think you could build with metal just as cheap.




Not everyone has access to or skill with a welder, chop saw, etc. Woodworking tools are much more common for the occassional restorer.

Wood, bolts and screws are surprisingly strong, especially engineers wood products like plywood. However, I agree, additional bracing to prevent rollover in either direction would be a good idea. Also, don't let it get wet.




I've shipped hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cars all the way to Oz in containers on wooden racking I tack together. Like you mentioned, some people are surprised by it, but a few 4x4's can support a car for the voyage all the way to Melbourne plus the rough handling by some of the port forklift guys just fine.
