The only Bug I have towed with my Bug Tow was a 66 with no Engine. My
friend doing the driving said it did ok but would have been better with
a engine. I want to remove my Engine out of my 68 to look at it and to
remove the body to prerpair the floor pans. But will need to tow the
chasis a little ways to where they will be welded on and a littler
farther to a friends house who has a Car Stand. That way I can get to
the rear rubber hoses on the brakes. Having a hard time with the car
just on jack stands. Am I going to have any toruble towing just the
Chasis 10 minutes away or should I leave the engine and Body on while
towing?
Thanks Steven

It will be a little bouncy due to no weight but at reasonable
speeds I don't see a problem. See how the steering (on the pan)
reacts going around a corner and whether it straightens itself.
Just hope you don't get stopped by gendarmes...

Heck I would tow a bug almost anywhere. When I got mine I towed it home with
my riding mower, about half a mile, and I had to keep looking back just to
make sure that it was still there. I just bolted a couple of bars to the
front bumper and ran a bolt through the hitch on the mower. Had no trouble
at all.

The chassis (or rolling pan) will tow just fine. I turned one of my rolling
pans into a trailer to haul some 6x8 fence panels & the front wheels tracked
the tow vehicle normally. Got a lot of looks, too.
