    Three logs. When one is coming out of the back, run it up to the front and put it under the front.

    Just like the pyramids.

    Just get little dolly things with wheels.

        This was my idea. I've got nothing - I mean nothing, no suspension, drivetrain, glass, wiring, dash, doors, etc - and I've eventually gotta get it to a body shop to get sprayed. I was trying to think of the best way to get it on a trailer, and I figured picking it up is the best option too.

          An Engine lift and tranny jack work pretty good, I placed the trany jack under the spair tire well(with some boards to spread the weight). Then used an engine lift and some chains to lift the front end. I rolled it out of my garage, and down the driveway this way. Getting it onto a trailer would be harder. But I've heard it just takes 4-5 guys. As it is if you get the car on blocks in the center, one person can easily lift one end of the car.
