Towing a parted-out car
So I plan on parting out a car in my garage, but I'm curious about what to do with it when I'm done. Once I strip off the suspension theres no way the car is rolling anywhere. What can I do with an empty shell once it's up on jacks? If they were to just drag it up onto a flatbed it would ruin my garage and driveway. Plus, who would I call to come get it?

Re: Towing a parted-out car
you can jack it up and put some of those things with the four swivil wheels that movers use under it to move it, i think their called dollies or something. that way you can get it out on the street and the tow truck dude can scrape up the street instead of your driveway or garage.

Re: Towing a parted-out car
i bought a wrecked integra and ive salvaged pretty much everything out of the car, the tow truck driver will be hauling that thing away on a flatblad, and itll be drageed to the truck on its own frame since theres not even any lower control arms or anything on the car, they can do it,it doesnt matter to them, as long as they get paid........

My dad would probably do it, but if you tell him not to fuck up your garage and driveway he'll just laugh at you and leave.
You can't expect to have a car down to the frame and body and not drag it somewhere.

I figured that one out, that's why I'm asking for some suggestions. Putting dollies underneath sounds feasible. It'd be sketchy trying to roll it down any driveway with any slope.

have a friend drive in front of it and have the two bumpers touching then slowly roll it out using the brakes from your friends car to control how fast the car on dollies rolls down the hill. once you get to the street you can just push it where ever.

Put the car down on 4x4 posts and then have it flatbeded out of the garage. Thats what I've done with my parted out Corrados. Make certain you have the tittle handy for the parts car because sometimes they will ask for it
