Shakey,

Sounds like a great car. Hope the time flies by. An hour north of Seattle is almost Canada, eh? I was lucky enough to play Semi-ah-moo a number of years ago. Beautiful countryside.

I have seen a lot of posts about people worried about getting their kit from the Stewart truck into their garage or shop. I am definitely one of those people. Where I live I have about a 50 yard gravel drive that slopes downhill to get to where my shop is. There is about 15 feet of total elevation drop. I been trying to think of how to take delivery of my kit. I decided to build a big cart with some decent size wheels on it and use my riding mower to tow it down the driveway. I figure the Stewart rig could just drop the kit right onto the cart I made and I can use some friends or a couple jacks to lift it off once it is in the shop. Pic below is of the whole setup.

Just in case you have not thought about it. You will want to strap down the frame/body to keep it from sliding off the dolly.

Hey Sankey. similar boat here with the delivery. 300 yards of road base driveway and way too small of gate and angle for a direct delivery. I used 4x4 over the rails of my 6x10 trailer. strapped it down and moved it up to the garage. had to get creative on getting it back down to ground level to be placed on jack stands. Little help with the engine hoist and 3 buddies and we got it done. Doug
