Thanks to all who replied.  Unanimous to put no cover on the car.  I'm going 
to get bids on having the car shipped.  If that can't be arranged, I'll 
build a rock barrier at the front of the trailer and hope for the best.  My 
truck has mudflaps and I'll just keep my distance from other vehicles, best 
I can.

An enclosed trailer is not an option, as I have one tow vehicle and own the 
flatbed trailer, and we're moving from Nevada to New Mexico.

Thanks again.

Cliff

Subject: [TR] Covering a newly painted car

I will pick up a freshly painted body on a rolling chassis next week and 
have
to haul it on an open trailer 600 miles.  I would like to cover the car to
avoid gravel impacts or other damage during the drive.  Any suggestions?  I
donbt have a snug-fitting car cover.  An acquaintance suggested buying a
roll of 6mil plastic and wrapping the car with that, secured by duct tape on
the plastic.

Thanks for any help,

Cliff
