Thanks for the feedback guys!!

Here is the note I left for Dad, but he didn't get it till he already had a full head of steam for using the tow bar.




We tried to rent a trailer but the local place didn't have any till Monday, so Dad went early and locked the wheels from turning and at lunch time Dad towed the chassis and I followed him to Dad's friends shop for power washing.

Dad power washed the chassis in the afternoon and I met him after work to monitor the chassis towing as he drove home. All went well, no exciting "Gas Monkey garage Drama" we only drove about 40kph, as the geometry was so bad on the front end from shimming and especially as the front end is all the way up due to lack of weight. I wouldn't recommend this process but the cost of the tow bar and lights was the same cost as renting the trailer for a day so I am ahead:-) My plan was to use the tow bar after chassis restoration to bring the chassis back to the igloo to put the body back on. I think I still will do this as we can improve the geometry so the front wheel follow better.

I added pictures of the "Junk Ship" and the freshly power washed chassis.
