Arrange with the owner to find something like a local lumber yard or
junk yard that will lift one car with a fork lift (I did it once with a
TR3.... in Wisconsin!). Run one car on the trailer bed down to the
place, roll it off, lift it up on top, tie it down, drive back to the
person's house and roll on the second car in a normal manner. If you
remove the windshield from one car, you can lower the second story down
to about 32 or 33 inches clearance, making the whole project a little
safer as far as roll center goes. I made mine out of 4x4's and 2x4's
and plywood with diagonal bracing at the front and sides.
The best of luck!
