It's a 175 mile trip. None of this is gravel. Some country roads, but mostly freeway. I'm pretty conservative while pulling a trailer.
I don't have access to an enclosed trailer, so a flatbed u-haul trailer is my only apparent option.
So, no plastic, no cover, no ropes. Keep is slow. Stay out of the gravel. Shield the trailer, if possible, or at least put some sort of mud flap on the back of my Tahoe.
The reality of it, is that the first time I drive it the microchips in the paint begin. One look at the turnout on my painted sidepipes reveals just how much gets flinged up just driving the car. I'm sure a pro paint job will be more resilient than my spray-can paint job on my sidepipes, but there is a lot of road debris that gets kicked up when you drive.
Thanks for the congrats on the paint. This has been a long effort, but I'm closing in on completion. Once I get it home, I've got thermal shielding to install and a carpet kit from ERA (which I've had for what, three years???). I had my FIA seats recovered in black leather with French stitching, with more dense padding, ready to install. I need to freshen the paint on my side pipes, reinstall the dash, change the
oil, and put all the lights and trim back on.
I am CHOMPING at the bit!
Soooooo looking forward to driving it again. And this time, it'll be bad-ass black.
