Default Transporting a C5 with no wheels

Anyone have any tips on how to transport a C5 parts car that has no wheels/brakes/a-arms? The car is already on a little trailer, it's not suited to carry a car though.

I understand every situation is different, I'm just interested to see/hear how others have transported in the past.

I would say get some of these: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/c....aspx?a=291981 and then roll it up onto a car hauler type trailer and you should be good to go. Obviously you can't drive it on or push it on, but you can get a come-along style winch and eventually get it on there.

Thanks for the ideas.

I bought a couple of those dollies today. I built a couple "skis" out of 2x4s to try and support the car with my jacking pucks routered into the wood. I'm sure between all the dollies, extra wood, and jacks we can come up with something.

I'll be sure to bring my camera as this will be a real sight to see.
