Towing an 88 GT

[Quikstang]

Hey guys. I am trying to figure out where to attatch a tow rope to my 88 GT to tow it back to the house. I broke my 3550 and have a truck and a rope, so i am going to pull the car back like 2 miles to the house tonight. The thing is I dont know where i can hook up the rope without damaging the body. My car is lowered. Any ideas on places sturdy enough to tie off a rope, but will not bend or scratch up my front bumper while being pulled by a truck...

Thanks...

Corey

I'm not sure, I know a guy who got away with putting it on the front sway bar, but I don't think that's a good place.

i guess too it depends on how long of a rope i use the longer the rope, i think there would be less angle, maybe like 20 ft of rope would not hit the front bumper that hard... Geez, I can build a motor but cannot figure out how to tow a Darn car... lol

The ground effects cover all of the good tow points

It might be better (for the plastic and paint) to get a dollie to put the car on

They are cheap at uhaul

or use a 4-wheeler if you can get ahold of one. They have a really low hitch.

yea, they are closed , and my car is a lil too nice for stayin outside unattended. I would sleep better with my ole girl in the garage, so i gotta figure this out.. hehe..

Maybe pop the hood and hook it to the top of the radiator support and just drive real slow with the hood unlatched.

If you have a GT, you can put the rope through the holes between the fog lights, and tie into the K member. that is what I done, but my car wasn't lowered.

Off of lake underhill and alafaya, in waterford Lakes. Its honestly less than a mile, I would hate to waste that short of a distance, you might need it sometime. I do appreciate the gesture though.
