I was honest with them and told them (their web site) a 1960 Sprite and =
they said it would fit. =46rom this list, I knew the tires would squeeze =
the inside edges of the carrier rails. I did not know the ramps up to =
the rails were a bit wider, so only 1/2 the tire would ride the ramp. =
But, you can move the toes of the ramps in towards the middle, so the =
tires start off entirely on the ramp. One highly recommended tool I used =
was a Warn PullzAll winch, along with some ratcheting straps and =
motorcycle tie-down straps. Getting the Bugeye up the ramps and onto the =
rails was a matter of pushing a button. They also make a battery powered =
one, which may be better than relying on having an outlet nearby.

As for the 100, I'm trying to talk one of my kids into taking it, just =
to make room in the barn for the Bugeye restoration. I've owned the 100 =
since 1974. It needs a new frame; $8K and more for shipping. The Bugeye, =
it needs floors, sills, doglegs, and more. But that's still less than =
$1K in sheet metal.=
