tie downs

each strap should be at least the strength of the weight of your hotrod. strap them to the frame of your car so that the suspension is not working while you tow. yellowdartdave has a great idea about not cross strapping also but is not the perfered method for most. if the trailer moves around while you are towing move the hotrod forward a tad until it stops and mark the trailer where the front tires are or install a stop.
