[Shotimes] towing question

[Juillerat, Aaron J]

Another idea is an engine hoist.  Hoist the front up as high as you can with
the engine hoist positioned at the side, then back your car trailer
underneath it as far as possible.  Let down the front onto the trailer then
move the hoist around back and lift it up.  Once in the air have a buddy
help you slide the car on.  The smoother surface on the trailer the easier
it will be even maybe grease the frame, trailer contact points.  I did this
with a Mustang body I had.  The junk yard will then just grab it with forks
through the roof and take it off your trailer.

That would be my approach... either that or get a trailer, a truck, a
winch, and a friend t oharass you and then just winch it up on the
trailer and take it in yourself and save the towing charge.

Did that with an old cadillac body, I think we used a tractor to pull
it up on the trailer.

Somewehre I have pictures of me car surfing on the roof as the body
got drug around by the tractor.
