PHASE V : Delivery
Almost as important as building your ‘Chitty’, is making sure it not only gets to her home safely , but that she fits inside! Measure…measure…measure!
My intrepid team that helped bring Chitty Home- R to L: Ricky Jones, Michael Vincent, Jeremiah Webb, Ally Shore, Steven Dascoulias, Bob Offerman, Stevie Webb, Charlie the dog and thanks to Jack Grace for the photos.
Cover the car in moving blankets, then drape in a plastic drop cloth
Wrap the whole thing in industrial cling wrap. Trust me, it's worth the cost not to have parts blowing off. She's built well, but not for 60 mile an hour winds
MEASURE: Make sure it will fit on the trailer you have or rent
MEASURE: Make sure there is a place to unload
MEASURE: Be aware of all impediments to the theater from your unload area.
MEASURE: Make sure it will fit through the door and hallways
MEASURE: Make sure it will fit down your isles if you don't have a load in door at the theater.
Chitty is finally unwrapped at her new home
You will most likely want to detach any parts that can break or get damaged in the move. Plan on having to re-attach lights, wheels, and and front grill if needed
