[Shotimes] towing question

[Alan Fanning]

As I recall, I built a simple wheeled dolly and stuck it under the front end
of the car (which was nose first into the driveway) and used a floor jack
under the trunk end of the car to get the body from the garage at rear of
house to the street. I then put a peeler log under the rear to avoid the
rear of the car scraping up the driveway when the body was winched up on the
towing trailer. Something like that anyway.
