My buddy got a new place with a koool shop but couldn't get his car there so I busted my trailer out & we got the dirty deed done!

Good thing that car wasn't any bigger, it filled the trailer as it was ! :D:D That was when America was building things that were bigger and better than the rest of the world. Now I see all these teeny tiny little cars in traffic and wonder what the heck happened ! :(

Good looking car.

Nice car, was it dukes of hazard after getting it on the trailer? (crawl out the window)
 
Friends helping friends is the way I was brought up. Glad to see it's still in practice among the guys here! Way to go Tripper!
 
Not quite as tight as my Caddy, but I wasn't too worried if it scraped a little. That looks like it took some calm nerves. Nice lookin' ride too!
 
nice ride. any more info on it?

I'm gonna start a sort of build thread for it shortly. The car needs a lot of work & I'll be helping him get it back on the road.

Also nice of you to help out....yep, that trailer is busting at the seams...:D

Yep... it was a real tight fit with about 2" left on either side. This was complicated by a broken steering column so we had to jack the tires in line by crow bar & hand.

You always have friends when you have a trailer! :D

Tell me!

He was really glad to have it in his shop... I know the feeling!

Nice 70-71 Ford! Don't see many of those, especially ragtops. What's in it, 429?

1970! Supposedly it has a 351 that runs. Not sure about that but will find out shortly, that would definitely be a bonus! He only paid $1000 for it, it needs some work but I think all the parts are there!
