Yesterday we went down to my inlaws. My F-I-L as always wanted a Vette. That has just always been his dream. So Monica has been looking on ebay for him nothing thinking he was serious. Well last night she found a fully restored '76 Stingray. Looks nice as heck. Only downside is, it is in Florida. He had her place a bid and low and behold since everyone else was watching the Superbowl, he won it. I think we are actually going to go get it vs. having it shipped. We are thinking about leaving early Friday morning, picking it up early - Mid-day Saturday and returning on Sunday.
Here is my question. I've attached a couple of pics of my trailer. Albeit, not the best shot of the dovetail. Do you think we'll have any problems loading the car? It is 16' + the 2' dovetail. I'm not worried about weight or anything on the trailer, just worried about the center going over the dovetail. I think we can get the front end on the ramps easy enough by cranking the front of the trailer up to lower the rear ramps. Just worried about the break over.
Then, next question, we have 4 straps, you know the typical 10k breaking but 3,333 WLL straps and then 5 chains and 5 binders. What would be the best way to tie this car down. We are thinking straps to prevent damage, but I know Vettes can be a bit weird to lash down. Don't want to lose it, but don't want to do any damage either.
