Pics of project cars on trailers, or trailer selfies

Not a project car - but the one time it (so far) that it left me stranded - dead HEI;

Very nice.  I had a 72 Firebird and now have a 78 Trans Am.  Really like the 2nd gens.

I agree with you. There was an article about towing a while ago, but I don't remember if securing the car was covered.

I have towed quite a few horse trailers and boats, so I understand a fair bit about managing the truck and trailer aspects, but securing the load is an important thing too. 

All of the car trailers I've used have been rented, and had tire straps. Is that the only way to do it safely, especially on an open trailer?

My RX-7  the day I brought it home:

And my old XJ:

In reply to Floating Doc :

I've always used chains around a solid part of the frame or an axle if we have one to work with and a dog to tighten them. Nothing has come off the trailer yet but straps through the wheels or those harnesses around the tires seems like less work and also more secure. Most vehicles I've hauled have wheels while finding a solid place with enough room can pretty annoying and usually requires climbing pretty far under the car. 

Just got the F500 in November. 

Bought the bugeye in 2015, it has a thread.

The only car I've ever sold and then missed. And there have been over 100.

1970 Torino Sportsroof. 351C M-code. Bench seat. Original paint and everything else....

Remembered this thread and decided to bump it. Here's me on the way home with the wagon. Stopped at a rest stop near Shepherdsville, Ky. 

I could do this all day!

1972 Datsun 240Z with title - $300.  Biggest pile of rust - classic paper stuffed into rust cavities and bondo applied over it.  I sold most parts on ebay - $1,500 gross dollars.

Today it would've brought high dollars but the guy that sold it to me was glad to get the $300.  

I sold my open trailer to Stampie so I would drag less stuff home, now when I really want something i just pay these guys

My Miata on the way home last February. Will be listed on the for sale page soon.

The truck got more comments than the Miata.

That was February 2018.

This is February 2019. The lava orange car is for sale

I've only got the two; not new, but new to this thread...

Picked up this Rodeo project as a daily beater for the wife.

My C30 project when I brought it home a few months ago.

My MSP when I brought it home. Unfortunately I ended up selling it before I fixed it.

Future Gambler 500 camper van,I'm going to add a homemade pop top roof.
