    I never tie a car down to the frame,, I always let the suspension work.

    just so you guys know you should tie the car down by the frame onto blocks to keep the car from moving period it saves the springs and shocks wear and tear and keeps things from bouncing around in the car.. put blocks under the frame and cinch it down to the blocks.. it's a old flat towing trick
    couple blocks of wood vrs the cost of new springs and rebuilt shocks.. think I'd rather buy blocks of wood myself

    Why on earth would Rick's car need 200 mph tape? :huh:






    Wouldn't even start the last time I saw it.




    J/K Rick! I saw your video since then.
