electric winches make it easy, especially when you trailer cars and tractors almost every weekend.

"Yeah, I was definitely a car-hauling noob. At least the damn thing didn't fall off the trailer or something. Funniest thing was coming back into Richmond and having this guy lean out of a car full of young brothas and say "Hey man! Is that Nova fast?" I'm like "**** no, it doesn't even run!"

my fd was harder to get on the trailer then the yellow car.



but soon i wont need a trailer for the yellow one, woo. and the fd motor is finished this week, woo.

yea see we use the trailer tongue jack now to get the trailer itself at close to a 45 degree angle, then we extend the boards on top of the regular ramps to give me about 6 feet of ramp before the actual trailer. its poretty quick and painless now.
