: 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.

Quite a setup. After the words of advice, I think I will leave it on the strongback and cling wrap it. We will need the stronback while we are fiberglassing anyway.

Thanks for the good advice.
