Thanks to all who replied. Unanimous to put no cover on the car. I'm going
to get bids on having the car shipped. If that can't be arranged, I'll
build a rock barrier at the front of the trailer and hope for the best. My
truck has mudflaps and I'll just keep my distance from other vehicles, best
I can.
An enclosed trailer is not an option, as I have one tow vehicle and own the
flatbed trailer, and we're moving from Nevada to New Mexico.
Thanks again.
Cliff

Subject: [TR] Covering a newly painted car
I will pick up a freshly painted body on a rolling chassis next week and
have
to haul it on an open trailer 600 miles. I would like to cover the car to
avoid gravel impacts or other damage during the drive. Any suggestions? I
donbt have a snug-fitting car cover. An acquaintance suggested buying a
roll of 6mil plastic and wrapping the car with that, secured by duct tape on
the plastic.
Thanks for any help,
Cliff
