that's a good question. I'd' like to reside it and paint it white, but probably try and do an awning first.

Looks awesome man!

Looks good mang. Why the openings on the left side and front, or maybe I am missing something here..

It used to be a hotdog cart, like the ones you see in DC.

by opening in the 'front', you mean the door I load the car through?
The side door was there so you can open the car door after you loaded the car in the trailer. My car sits to low and I can't open the door, which is why it was a PITA to load the car just by driving it on.

That's the side door so you can step in the trailer. Have you ever seen an enclosed trailer before? I'll have it down at the 'burg saturday, feel free to have a look around. The outside ain't the best looking, but it works for me, and was at the right price

Damn how much? I almost bought a winch for my trailer but I figured I could get a good work and save some money by getting a come-along (hand cranked winch for those who don't know).

I got it at Northern Tools for $360 (http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200197824_200197824).
I already had a spare deep cycle battery, so if you don't have one of those figure another 120ish. Or you can run #2 wire from your trucks battery to the rear and pickup some high amp connectos for about $30 each. Oh and for an open trailer you'd want to make a removable mount for the winch, so figure another $20-$50 to make that yourself.
Its a 3700lb winch which is more than enough to pull a 3,000lb car up ramps that still rolls.
