Anybody out there make a side trailer out of their sidecar?  What I imagine is a frame that could accept either the car or a small flatbed sort of thing, depending if I'm hauling a passenger or lumber.  Is this feesible, or reasonable?

On my rocket sidecar the body is held onto the frame by 10 bolts (6 rear and 4 front).  The frame area is about 45 in long and 21 in wide.  It seems it would be a simple matter to make up whatever platform you require and to swap it out with the sidecar body as required.  The rear of the sidecar is mounted on rubber bands for some aditional suspension.  Hope this helps.
