Plans might be a good idea. When I grew up in OK, my buddies and I built quite a few...but because we were Vo-Ag trained FFA farmboys we always ended up using more material than we needed!!! Our "car trailers" ended up being nice heavyweight backhoe trailers!!!

They might weigh more but you knew what was under it too! Have you looked under a "brand" built trailer? They were built as lite and with the least amount of metal as can be for the most profit. By people that call themselves welders! I'll keep building my own too. Thanks!
