[Shotimes] Re: will the car roll with no suspension?

Why go through the trouble to try and put wheels on something that's gutted
and heading to a crusher....
A tow truck can just drag it out with the winch.

Well I got the Mustang out of the garage and the SHO in, and the
stripping process has begun. I took the intake off the other day to sell
the BBBs and today I took the stereo stuff out I wanted, jacked it up
and started devising my plan for drivetrain extraction. I'm hoping I can
unplug everything, pull the axles out and undo the shift linkage, undo
the motor and tranny mounts and pull the longblock and tranny up and
out. Sound right?

Then I started looking at the brakes and suspension, and got stuck
trying to decide if I can undo it all and still get the shell out of my
garage. What I wanted to do was get some extra spares (to be able to
sell the slicers), and roll it out onto a tow truck once everything's
been yanked. I know it'd be bottomed out and would have no brakes, but
would the shell still roll in such a state? Would I have to fabricate
some kind of inserts (wood) to take the place of the suspension?
Inquiring minds want to know (so I can be able to sell the brakes and
suspension too rather than watch them get crushed).

what's left and what's on the car getting pulled now (e-mail me for
