Back in the day I built myself a 10" f/8 newt. Then discovered that I wanted to move it with a HQ sedan. So a suitable Al box and clamps were made to put it on the roofracks (Dad was a panel beater and sheet metal worker). It worked OK, so long as I had help and I never had issues with the optics. However a box for a 10" on a HQ is a bit different to a box for a 12" on a 323. The box was nicknamed 'the coffin' and attracted its share of comments.
