Moving my FD rolling chassis

Guys,

I would like to know the proper procedure for moving an FD rolling chassis. My thought was to mark and remove the driveshaft, leaving the front end of the PPF dangle. Is there a practical way to support the front end of the PPF?

Thanks in advance.

If you have a stripped interior you can easily tie it up with some rope through the trans tunnel. That's what I did with mine

Sturdy bungies, or even the factory cross-members should keep it off the floor.

Ok, re-installing the crossmember makes sense. I presume moving the chassis small distances (onto a truck and back again) won't cause excessive stress on the rear end.

^I wouldn't think so as long as the suspension is intact.
