RE: [Chevelle-list] Trailering Your Chevelle

[John Nasta]

If you use the straps that loop around the tires (like on a rental trailer) check them after about 20 or 30 minutes and then check them again the next time you stop. My experience with those is that they come loose as the car jiggles around, and sometimes they even fall off.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Matthew Post Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2005 1:30 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List; Chevelle List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Trailering Your Chevelle   When we trailered my '69, we looped around the tires in front.  I don't know if that would be possible with the straps you have, but worth a shot. -Matt At 08:20 AM 9/29/2005, Larry Shouse wrote: It's time to take my 66SS "shell" to my body and paint guy this weekend. I just loaded the car onto the trailer. Not wanting to wrap chains around anything on my freshly painted chassis, I went to the trailer store and bought a four corner strap tie down system. In a nutshell, it's two straps with a hook at both ends and a "D" ring that you can move up and down the strap so you can loop the straps around something like the rear end on each side and hook the other end to your trailer, plus two more straps which are the same except they both have heavy duty ratcheting buckles on them.   My question is, I can run two of the straps around the rear end housing in the back, but where do do you all use for anchoring points in the front of the car???     Thanks, Larry Shouse
