When my Dad ran s/c in the 90's with a hardtail dragster, he welded some angle plate on the lift pad of a GM scissor jack. The kind that came with every car back then. Glued some plush carpet on the parts that touched chassis crossbars and voila. He had learned that Eddie Hill could get more years out of his T/F cars and that Eddie attributed to how we secured the car in the trailer. Approached Eddie at the Springnationals one year asking about what he did. Eddie took my Dad in his rig and showed him his whole setup. Class act. I am going to setup a scissor jack for under the cross member in our Chevelle this winter. Something for the rear frame rails as well. We have high quality Mac tie-downs and spent a lot of time on properly mounting our d-rings. Our straps still like to loosen up unless I give them the gorilla ratchet job and make them banjo tight.
