[Roadsters] Towing question

Suggest welding angle iron piece between the bumper mounting bracket and  
the frame and the sway bar towers too.  Strengthens them up too.

going through Hartford, CT!!  And, it nearly succeeded. God bless  safety

I have a better suggestion.  Remove the bumper  and mounts.  Take two 
pieces of
heavy angle iron and drill them to  bolt on in place of the bumper mounts.
Take a third piece of angle iron and  weld it across the newly made mounts.
Four bolts to change it out and you  could suspend the car from it!  This 
was
done at a truck stop outside  of Hartford 35 years ago and I still have it.
Quick, simple, and absolutely  bullet proof.

Group,

Has anyone  ever towed their roadster behind a motor home? I'm thinking
about
doing this myself. It appears that I would need to build the  attachment
points on the front of the frame myself since there  aren't any manufactures
that make attachment brackets anymore for  our little cars. I would also
have
to disconnect the driveshaft  when towing plus install a light and indicator
connection to the  car. Any other considerations that I've missed?

Thanks

Steb
