Friend stripped his in his garage and then we moved it 10 miles through town and up the interstate then some gravel road to get it to my shop to glass it. Left it on the strong back, some duct tape and ratchet straps as well as the stands are screwed to the trailer deck. I took it farily slow (50 mph) and still nerve racking but came through just fine. Lots of good jokes along the way, "bring a broom and some garbage bags to the corner of 4th and main, etc. etc.
