Hi everyone
Tomorrow morning I am strapping my 65 convertible to an auto flat bed. From what I am reading on line 4 straps crossed or not back is looped around the rear strut rods and the front is looped around the lower control arm. Does that sound right to you?

Re: Strapping down to a flat bed
Yes, that's about right. If you decide to cross the rear (more secure on rough road surfaces), place your tie-back loops near the differential. (They'll slide to the center and loosen if you start with them tied outboard.)
