hi gang,
        i nailed down the '69 midget rust bucket on ebay over the weekend. in
the tradition of 'we tight', i'm considering dragging it the 225 miles
from syracuse, ny to keene, nh with a tow dolly. before committing any
fatal faux pas i'm looking for some advice:
        should i roll it with the front or rear wheels on the dolly? i'm
assuming that front wheels dollied would track better. if i pull it
this way, what is the best technique for disconnecting the drive
train? i'm guessing this would be recommended, and necessary.
        if i put the rear wheels on the dolly, and secure the steering
straight, would there be a problem with the knock offs working loose
running backwards for this many miles?
        i fished through the list archives with some success answering
questions. are there any other issues i am overlooking? any 'been
there, done that, don't do this' advice you have to offer would be
much appreciated. the plan is to pull it home this weekend.

thanks in advance,
paul m
