Default Free-wheeling hubs-old style towing

Hey guys,
My car is close to ready to get some racing in this year. I really don't want to drive it to the track anymore and I might not be able to get insurance on the car due to roll cage etc...

I am bucks down right now so I can't afford to buy a decent open car trailer.
I recall back in the days people used to "flat tow" their cars. They had a "free wheeling hubs" attached to a suitable tow vehicle with a tow bar.

I can't seem to find these hubs anymore, but after talking to some people I think I could make some. I would remove a front drum application off a GM A-body (to get the hubs) and make some mounting plates (1/2 steel). I would also construct some type of tow bar...

I would need to find a small thin tire that would act as the wheels for the hub..I also don't have a e-brake anymore due to c-clip elims install..

Hopefully there are some guys out there who did this back in the day and can give me some advice..
Thanks,
Kris
