Everything you need to know is located at the link here:https://www.hagerty.com/assets/PDF/TraileringPamphlet.pdf

Read it twice to make sure you are up to doing this. Trailering is VERY serious business.

Use axle straps. Use nylon ratchet straps. While the article says that some people cross the ratchet straps to reduce the chance the car will ""walk" sideways I use the most direct path to the D ring.

I have tried it both ways and have never had my 1941 convertible sedan or 1941 business coupe "walk." However, my D rings are located somewhat on an angle and not directly in front of the axle strap attachment point. This may also help using the direct path method and not have any walking.

Again, this is serious business and no place to take shortcuts.

Good luck.
