There must be a way to take a frame carry implement and modify some straps onto it...
Or, has anyone made a custom peice for it? Might be a cool one to start developing for "local" level competitions, good for crowd pleasing.
Thoughts?

Try and make an attachment to your yoke. I might work, I've never really thought about it though. It would be cool for the croud.

Wouldn't it be easier to rig up a set of straps with a tire?
I think it would better simulate the lack of leg room and the swinging and swaying of the car.

I think you ought to get your training buddies together and just pitch for a car from a junk yard. Rig it up the way you want it, and you're set to go.
The best part about this is that you will HAVE the impliment not only to train with, but also to use in contests. There are plenty of contests and promoters in MN, so you shouldn't have a problem getting guys to pitch in for it.
OR, you can promote a contest and use some of the contest money to purchase such impliments. This is how we acquired most of our new stuff.

That's a great idea Paul.
You should be able to get a gutted car from a salvage yard for around $100 since that is all they pay for them with everything still in them.
Shoot you might even be able to get one for free if you find someone who needs to get an old junker out of their yard.
