I strap it with the A-arms but I want to be able to pull it into the trailer with a winch. I know if I strap to the A-arms with the winch I will loose my front bumper cover. Looks like I just might have to fab something.

Iceburgh...SEMA is around the corner. I am looking forward to it..how about you?

usually I can drive the car into the trailer. But right now the blower and intake are out of the car and it needs to be in the trailer. I would rather pull it into the trailer then push it. Not to mention sometimes with 800 RWHP it is just easier to pull the car in. In Daytona I smoked my clutch getting the car in the trailer due to the position and location I had to use to get the car in.
