I agree with 71 BB....the first thing I noticed was how close the car was to the sides of that hauler! NO WAY.........

The paint job turned out great!!! :drool:  I was almost brave enough to try painting my '73 the factory F-8 Dark Jade Green like that, but wanted to go with the color scheme I have always loved. (Plum and white)
1973 Dodge Challenger......................The ongoing project. (00/----\00)
1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo....The sunny day cruiser (RTBoost)
1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.
All-American Muscle: 'Cudas and Challengers...Still the Elite and always will be.

I also like that shade of green, something a little different, and I agree, she will look nice when finished with all things back in place... ....cheers...Jim

Its never been an issue,I have hauled literally dozens of mopars on it,some completely restored,some projects.They key,again,with any trailer is not driving it on.I prefer to winch in slowly,it comes right off with the winch just as easily.PLus the side rails do offer a lot of protection against hazards on the road,rocks flying up,semi truck retreads,bad drivers ect.But,you use what make you happy and i'll continue to use my trailer and never have an issue.Afterall its what each person is comfortable in doing.I actually have 6 different trailers,horse trailer,livestock trailer,flatbeds,tilts ect.So i have alot of experience hauling with trailers.

She'll be sweet moparnut :thumbsup:

AC was one of the few factory items I wished to do without when I bought my R/T SE. Cleaner under the hood, cleaner under the dash... :grinyes: :thumbsup:

Saw an F8 challenger at a car show a couple weeks ago and it was stunning.  Good choice.
