I have discussed this with fat cat, I am putting this out there to you. We will be losing the storage we have for the BBQ trailer this fall. I have thought about selling the trailer to finance the racer.

So what are your thoughts on selling it? How much should we ask if we do sell it? Is there some one willing to store it if we keep it?

I voted to sell. You and Fat Cat have not asked for any contributions to support the site for years  and that could be a priority for any money because that iwould cover the interests of more of the members of RRT  that contributed to the building of the trailer.As far as any details of the sale I would certainly trust your judgement on the matter.

How often does it get used?

I agree with Joe

The last few years, not much, usually once a year.

I also agree with Joe's line of thinking.

IMHO, the racer will be the next project to be abandoned due to lack of finances or participation.

My observation is that we are past the trailer deal. It was enjoyable when we had larger turn outs for the shows but for me I just don't go as much - other responsibilities.

Unfortunately , I too agree with Joe .... :(  

 Few people understand the work & responsibility  that goes along with that trailer ...

  You guys still want me to bring the apple slice???  
I can provide the plates / forks & napkins  but cannot watch over it for the weekend ...





Bob........ :(

I'm torn so I'm not giving an option but will offer safe, indoor storage for it for the winter.

Are we on the path of selling the BBQ?  Funds for the Crosley project?

Can we outsiders get an update on the Crosley Project in that thread?

Figured I'd ask this here:

What is a value - price on the BBQ trailer?  I'd have no idea, never dealt with an item like this.

The fond memory of reaching into Enjenjo's pants, making change when the BBQ trailer was in Wendover UT.  First n last time I saw the trailer in person.

I have no idea how much the BBQ is worth. Similar size units with a gas grille and rotisserie are in the $3100 to $3500 range new.

I took all the decorative licence plates off the BBQ trailer. If you want yours back, I will get it to you.

I've seen the BBQ trailer unit once when it was nearly new.  That was in Wendover near Bonneville Salt Flat area.

I thought Enjenjo  was shooting bs  on the subject.  Cave Creek?  I hope enjenjo receved cash

I hope the new owner has as much camaraderie and good times as we've have had building and enjoying the trailer.  Many smiles and friendships came out of our many get-togethers.  I get a little lump in my throat to see it go.

Here's a couple pics.  I put many more photos of build days and using the trailer in a photobucket album here: http://s9.photobucket.com/user/hotrodpurple/library/RRT%20BBQ%20Trailer?sort=9&page=1

I too enjoy those pictures. I enjoyed that time even though I had to be driven to those days rather than being confident enough to drive. I hoped at the start of the Crosley project that it would be more of the same and I tried to keep my contributions enough to make it a happening but different times has seemed to leave that project less enthusiastic. Maybe some new money in the til will get it re-started. GPster                                                                                         P.S. It's hard to believe that the little girl in the last picture is counting down time to be a mother. Good Luck on that!

Was the "steamer" with that hubcap lid and burner stand part of the deal?
Thanks for the reminders George, you still take the best pics!  
Also, will Ken be remanded back to Craftsman status now that he's out of a job? :lol:

I'll never be out of a job!  In fact I have to live to 100 just to get the started projects finished.

Yes those were some good times.  I sorted through a lot of pictures to post the ones I did in photobucket.  It made me realize how many people were around then that don't stop by here anymore.

And yes, Joe, it's hard to believe little Shelby is now a grown woman and almost a mother.
