Take another one or two sets of ramps with you, or you'll be scraping the front bumper all over the place when you load and unload the car. I used two sets of ramps with a low sitting trailor and still scraped my front bumper but my car is lowered.

I can't wait to see you start this build. I'm happy for you, even if I came off as a punk sometimes in some of my posts, it was only to help you And I'll lend any help I can since I'm almost done doing what you're about to start on haha

Fixing to set off in about 20 minutes 2:40am right now
Still raining, but not so hard, just sprinkles
I'll take gobs of pictures when I get back, and post em up asap.

I'm prepared to scrape, but I'm hoping I can just load the car backwards, don't see why I couldn't thus far. More clearance in reverse.

I'm excited, I expect many more lectures to come haha

Yeah I always had to put mine on a trailer backwards so the nose would not scrape the ramps.
We used a trailer like that to pick up my cousin car, we just backed the trailer up to the bank by the road and it was almost level to drive the car right off of it. Worked out good.

Well man good luck, and now the SAGA OF ETHAN BEGINS, I know Ethan is rocking out to some Bon Jovi right now!

I wasn't able to back mine onto the trailer because the fuel pump was going out and the car was backed into the garage. That, and with it being so low it wouldn't matter if it was backed on or went on forward on the trailer, it will still scrape one end of the car or the other unless I use like 3 sets of ramps.

I'm hoping that the 8' ramps I'm making work out for me. The trailer came with 5' ramps, and I have to jack up the front of the trailer, use a set of those plastic ramps, and it still scrapes if you go up too fast.

Wow. Looks about like my new project. My brother just bought a 88 IROC 350 TPI tonight. The guy pulled the motor and trans to install a big block, but he decided do a different project so we picked up a rock solid car with the original drivetrain, just not in the car. The interior is MINT though. So we are kind of excited right now. I know your excitement, good luck and have fun!
