Just wicked cool and thanks for the history link... what do you use the ball hitch on the front for?

I didn't know what it was used for originally, but I liked it so it was re-chromed with the bumper. My friends used to joke it was for towing when it broke down.

Now we figure that it was used to put a boat in the water so you could see.

Oh, didn't notice it in the before picture... does it have one on the rear too? It could be for a boat or other trailer for that matter. My dad kept one on the front of his tractors and I ran one on the front of an old Jeep. A lot easier to maneuver a trailer in tight spaces that way than backing one in...

Regardless, I love your house-car, ultra cool and your updates/mods are extremely tasteful and compliment the original design very well.

It had a hitch on the back and I had it beefed up to handle the storage pod. The guy I bought it from mentioned that he used to pull a boat with it.




Thanks!

Also, our friend decided to try his hand a tiki carving and this is what he produced on the first try.

The first Great Dale House Car tiki.

I'm thinking we need to do a FOM camping weekend somewhere.

This really needs to be a thing.

NICE!

I don't know which Moto Nui merit this may qualify for : Rodder, Restoration, or Lodge Builder; it's kind of all 3. But you should definitely look into that or ask the Rako Moto Nui.
