Towing my shell - can I?


Recommended Posts

I'll be moving to a new place on the 17th and will be taking my Z. Hopefully, heh.

 

I have access to a car dollie (sp?) but its not a full trailer or anything. The car will still have the rear wheels on the pavement. My worry is I could damage the car in some way. Twist or tweak the frame.. The floor pans are completely cut out along with the rails. That would weaken (I would assume anyway) the car considerably but I dont know if it could potentially sustain damage.

 

I've tried to find a full trailer but cant locate one and with other moving expenses and the fact we have to rent a massive U-haul + the deposit and rent and such.. I just dont have the money to rent a full trailer. I looked into just loading it into the back of the uhaul but that wont be an option, we have too much crap and need the room. If I cant dollie it down I'll just have to leave it here until I can afford to rent a trailer or something.

 

Anyone know if it would be safe or am I risking damage to my Z?

 

Edit,

 

Thats the section thats cut out. (ignore the red lines..)

A full trailer is always better' date=' no strain on the car.

I agree. Since you have cut out all that metal, I would think a full trailer would be a wiser choice. In the end, will buying another Z be cheaper than the difference you'll spend by renting the 'correct' trailer?

Thanks for the replys.

 

I'll just have to leave it here in Lexington for a few weeks then till I can drudge up the money (or make friends with someone that has one, lol) to rent a full sized trailer. I just dropped like 1300$ for the house + about 500 total for the move + first months utilities + other random expenses, lol. I am 100% tapped out right now.

 

Oh well, a month or so wont kill me. A friend of mine has a '67 Mustang I can start taking apart - lol.
