Well boys and girls today another step towards completing my almost 3 year project. After I got home from work today I loaded up the car onto the trailer. Tomorrow she goes to my mechanic to finalize engine wiring ( 3.0 ),shift linkage and a list of items I just didn't want to deal with. Contrary to the opinion of some I had no problem with the oil cooler getting in the way going onto the trailer. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The Harbor Freight winch pulled her up quite easily. I am very happy how she is turning out so far and can't wait to hear that 3.0 roar. Many thanks to so many people on this forum and a special thanks to TC and Brian Cheney for helping me install the engine and tranny. The color is Berber Yellow L11D in case your wondering.

I would rather see you run the hold down straps thru the wheels and not to the body. With the tires/wheels held firmly to the trailer the body of the car can move freely on the suspension.
BTW - that car looks fantastic! |

The ones in the pics are attached to the modified shock mounts for the 75 bumpers. I removed the shocks and welded up custom tubes with nuts welded on the ends. The tow hooks are FIA rated stainless steel and they screw into the welded nuts and are locked down with another nut and washer. In addition I have a strap on each corner going thru the wheels. This is the first time I've had her on the trailer so I'm learning. I know you are a pro on these so I'm curious is there a specific issue with what I have done with the straps ? I do value your opinion on this as I am new to towing cars. Thanks |
