We'll look forward to meeting you and I know the wife will be checking your car out. The 63 coupe is her absolute favorite.

What's the driving distance from Virginia? It Sound like a long hual with a heavy trailer. Did you get enough practice towing it yet?

The only trailer my 66 has ever seen is the little Coleman I towed my bicycles to the bike trails on. I sold the trailer hitch 5 years ago.

See you at Funfest..............

I gotta ride that Cowvette one more time

Collin its gets easeyer,

When backing up just let your hands do the work ,DONT THINK. Watch the jack knife when backing up. I used to have red verticle lines taped on the nose of my enclosed trailer. I would get the tow vechicle as close to a jack knife and would put the tape in line with the quarter panel and would know that when the red verticle line was in line in the mirror with the quarte panel I could not jack it any more with out damage to the bumper.

Its also easeyer to just keep the trailer in line with the tow vechicle and then just point it in the right direction and chase it into the spot you want.

Just make sure who ever your spotter is they use eather STOP or KEEP COMING

AS
Whoa and go Sound the same

Here is a picture of my daughter,the best trailer spotter I have ever used .Here she is telling me just another 1/2"

she lines me up perfect everytime.

All I have to do is drop the trailer on the ball.while backing up with the trailer on she is also just the perfect guider
