Tow strap ??

[Nance]

Where is the best place to attach a tow strap to the front end of a 72 Mustang? Need to move my sons 72 about 40 feet to pour a concrete slab.No gas tank or carb is on the car.I don't want to bend any thing up.Thanks

I think I'd go around the cross member the strut rods attach to, that's where I jack from. Of course, it may be hard to go around with the radiator and such, can't remember how it used to look

When I used to winch my car up into my trailer, I attached a stap to the engine crossmember. It hangs pretty low and it allowed me to winch my car without the strap interferring with my front spoiler.

whever i towed my Mach 1 to and from Utah (Hill AFB) i hooked around BOTH front bumper supports (73's have super massive bumper supports) i even tow strap/towed my mach one down the street this way when i was PCS'ing out of Utah to a friends house who was going to let me keep it there until i left.

If your just going to move it forward i would even just strap it up to the front sway bar. i bet it'll take more than towing the car around and alot of jerking to bend anything there.

hope this helps!!!

Use front cross member or motor cross member

Engine cross member.When ever I have mine on the trailer that is where I strap to.Very sturdy.

Towed mine down the side of the interstate with a chain using the front crossmember. Held up fine at 50 mph.

Last time I drive in the pouring rain with the scoop inserts out of the hood. Had to replace the coil. :dodgy:
