Dont get in the car...line it up and then winch it in the trailer (CENTERED) so you dont have damage issue...kepp the driverside window down in case you need to adjust the wheels or if you have lexan and cant roll them down, then kick the tire or put a guide down on the floor so the tire will follow without a driver in it... Good luck..
Me likes your 64!!

Mike.. Drive it in and have someone help you center it. Then use a tennis ball on a string and hang it from the ceiling so that it touches the windshield where you have a mark. Leave the tennis ball permanently so you will always put it the same place..  Good Luck.  Chris..

I leave the window down drive in open door a little and climb out no problem.The only reason I have a small winch is if its broke and wont run or drive.
