I had a drawing of a bugeye with all the measurements on it. Anyone know where I could find it again.

Harbor Frieght has in there new catalog on page 13 a 60 X 96 trailer rated for 1500 lbs for 600 bucks. It's almost big enough.
 
Jack - go out & draw a 60x96 sqare around Miss Agatha.
 
I've towed Spridgets on mine before- the only problem is that you need to remove the trailer fenders since the Spridget wheels are wider than the inside of the trailer fenders. Trailer handles the weight fine, even on the freeway for hundreds of miles.
I just put my floor jack under the front end, jack it up until the back of the trailer touches the ground and then use a come-along to haul the car up- works great.
One thing that I did for an extra feeling of security is to replace the box tubing with a piece of 2" galvanized waterpipe (thickest walled that I could find). NO more flexing of the toung now.

I just reread your post and noted that you said "600 lbs". Mine says (also Harbor Freight) that it is good for 1000 lbs (???)
REREAD it- Mine is the cheap one (around $300.00) and good for 1000 lbs, still works fine but yours may not need the toung reinforcement.
 
NO no that is 600 dollars and 1500 lbs, a Bugeye longer than that trailer but not as wide.
