Well the time is near. Truck and Trailer are damn near ready for the travels. A bit nervous about spending the night in Reno with the BelAir sitting on a flat bed trailer out in the open. Have the BelAir pretty well waxed up, so hopefully she will be easy to clean up after our travels down to Eureka. Now I just have to get her up on the trailer and tied down. Nope no trailer yet, she needs her oils freshened up. Two more days of work and two days of a crazy weekend and hopefully while everyone is enjoying the solar show, we will be screaming across the Idaho/Nevada dessert.
Have a safe trip!!!!!!
If you have chain tiedowns.......loop a big padlock thru 2 loops where the chain can not be removed.
I am getting anxious. I finally got my engine issues figured out and I am ready to go. I may have to change the chassis batteries in the motorhome but other than that I am ready.
I have been told there is.

Thanks phil I have some logging chains and some big old skool locks hopefully the combination of the two will work. How many straps do I need to secure the car on trailer. I don't have a shortage of straps. I think I have found the four main straps and the straps that go around the axle tubes. So two front and two back maybe more? Not sure what these cars weigh but trailer tires should I just blow up to max? Or a few pounds under? It will be awesome to put a face to all y'all in the group.
Cross the straps in front and back to pull each way glad to see your getting the car to a meet your pops would be proud
when loading the Belair have the front of the trailer up a little higher than the rear so the front of the mufflers dont hit when loading the car, a few times we would load the Belair onto trailer hooked to my truck then transfer to his Motorhome, Pat

Will keep an eye on those muffler tips hopefully my truck is high enuff. I am just hoping the car is heavy enuff to get me down into my overload springs. Will be a sweet ride then.
