[DeTomaso] Trailer question

[Dave Doddek]

I have towed backward loaded, but I always use 2 inch masking tape and tape
the seams of the deck lid and hood.  I even run a rope from the engine
compartment out across the deck lid and tie to the sway bar for added
insurance.  I however have a long enough trailer now and can toe forward.
