Welcome to the club..........you are now an official "Car-a-holic." There IS no known cure, but that girlfriend you have mentioned might temporarily put a little damper on the illness.

Cool find Man!!!!! Love the '41-'48's, and you have a coupe and a sedan to play with. If you can get a front end loader or something like that you can lift it up and on, or in a real pinch jack them up high and keep moving the trailer back under them.

We would remove boats from their trailers by blocking up the rear of the boat, then continually be putting more concrete blocks under it as we pulled the trailer forward from under it. You would be doing the reverse.......as you back up the trailer and finally get some of the body onto it, keep removing blocks until most of the body is on it, then shove or winch it forward. A $ 20 Harbor Freight come a long will do wonders. Some ramps made out of strong wood would also work, allowing you to winch it up and on.

Have fun!!!!

Or, you could try this guys method, but put the boards under the front and back up like h***.

I was thinkin of using boards....but not like the guy in your picture! Im thinkin of doing the cinder block routine, but using some PT round fence posts to kinda roll the body onto the trailer. Should be interesting. The old guy who owns them has no equipment and is too old to help, so Ill be having fun all by myself!!!

BTW Don, my new GF LOVES the old rods....Shes the one who got me refired up on the T coupe! I took her to the Nationals in Ky in August and she went crazy! She insists that the coupe MUST be on the road by next years NATS at the latest....Maybe Ill build the sedan for her!
