I just scored a 1991 GTA Trans-Am for FREE!!!

WOOT!!!

This guy on a local board posted that his dad bought this car for the drivetrain for his 57 Chevy but the rest of the car is complete and in great shape. Free to the first person to call dibs with a trailor. Now all I have to do is go pick it up...

I need help though... the rearend is gone... any suggestions on getting the thing off of the trailor? and then how should I move it around until I get a rearend?

I'll try and post pics as soon as I can!

Do you know anyone who may have a rear or parts car around?Maybe see if you can find one for cheap.You will only need a couple bolts in it to keep it there.I am sure you can get it on or off the trailer without the rear,but you may not like what it looks like afterwards

Axle/Gears: ones with teeth
just use some boards and a come along to drag it on the trailer, then to remove you will need to winch it back off using boards again, the boards will allow the car to slide. place them at the lowest point on the car. you could always go the jy route and grab any rear avalible for moving purposes. or drive here to mass and take the 10 bolt sitting outside my garage since i have no use for it. or you could have a flat bed pick it up and then set it on stands for you, if the driver is good with the truck it is amazing how you can handle cars with a roll back.

Car: No F-Body Currently :(
Engine: none
Transmission: none
Axle/Gears: still...none...(ugh)
If it were me.......

I would get a couple of those dolly's that you put under car wheels to move it around in the garage, and put them under the car somehow. Or, make some dollys from 2x4's and some casters just to get it on the trailer.
