Why not haul it with your truck? Just lie about what's going on the trailer. Their algorithm is dumb. In the meantime, is it farther than the old unit?
Nice to see that ole girl in the light of day again Jared! Glad to hear you’re keeping the cars and btw, those wheels look great on the GP.
Glad to hear you made it work out. Be a shame to move on for as far as you've come!
As satisfying as that would be to believe, dude probably had a list of people waiting in line to pay what he was asking.
Hoorah for you Jared. I was hoping you'd find a viable solution. This is by far better news. 
First, I'd like to apologize to everyone for not replying in a more timely manner. Until now, I didn't have a computer at home. I mostly post during lunch at work but have been slammed lately and have been working through lunch instead. I can only type so much on my phone.
I really appreciate everyone who replied and tried to find a way for me to keep the car. As you already know, I am keeping it. I will finish it. It was a very stupid decision (financially) buying it and storing it all this time. It wasn't supposed to work out this way. I thought I was at the right point in my life for a project car but I wasn't. Dad's car and Sean's cars weren't finished when I bought it in late 2014 and I was committed to helping them both finish. There has never been the space for the car at home and the storage seemed like a good compromise at the time. I never should have taken it apart so far. I've made lots of mistakes. Hopefully we can get our shop built in the next year or two and I'll finally have the car I wanted in high school. If I put it back together, I don't think I'll ever sell it.
My truck doesn't have a hitch and has a 3800 RPM stall speed converter. Not ideal for towing. We could have used my brother's truck but there was a ton of stuff to move out there. It turned out, we really could have used a bigger truck. All of the stuff that you see in the picture made it out there in that truck in one run. My brother was the loadmaster and he had that thing packed top to bottom, front to back. It worked out. I wasn't really looking forward to dealing with U-Haul but they deserve some credit. I set up everything online. I did the online check-in. Picking the truck up was a breeze. It was a good truck. Drove well and gave no trouble. Returning the the truck was as simple as could be. Pull under and awning, leave the keys in it and drive away. I did a pretty good job estimating the miles. After they checked the truck in, they charged me a little less than $2 for me being ever so slightly above the estimated mileage. It was a good experience. I like those U-Haul car trailers. I like the juice brakes on the tongue.
