Be careful with letting plastic near the new paint, even when it's dry it evaporates
solvents for days which can make plastic stick to the paint.

That's what I was afraid of. I know it's better to anchor to an unsprung point, and there's just not that many places to hook up to.... since I'm using straps, even with the protective sleeve covering it, I don't feel comfortable wrapping a strap around the a-arms with their sharp edges. I may have to make up two short pieces of chain with a rubber hose over it or something with hooks or loops it the ends. Maybe this justifies buying new tubular a-arms.... ;-)

For flatbed towing I believe we used to hook the a-arms in the front and over the rear axle in the back.

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
