Default Attachment points to tow/pull C3

While trying to manuver my non-running 75 under my chain hoist, the transmission slipped into gear, and I could no longer push it into place. I used a come-along to a anchor in my cement floor. Now the question:

Where do you attach a rope/cable/chain for pulling/towing?

I looked through the archives, and saw a plate made by Norval, but I will be converting to a mono-spring (fiberglass) front and rear, so I can't use that or the rear spring anymore. Anyone weld in some hooks somewhere? Ideally, I would like to set myself up with something in the front and rear of the car, on the centerline if possible.

For those that haven't seen my stainless plate. I rolled a 1/8th stainless plate and welded it under the front crossmember. I have been jacking on this plate for years without denting it or scratching. I also welded a large nut that I screw a nice eye into in case I have to tow the car.

I take it that bracket is attached to the "vacuum resevoir" up front (that big tube)???

BTW nice braided rug under the vette... :)
