Default Would this be fine to tow?

So i posted a thread about the car i bought for 100 bucks the motor and trans were removed,and i was wondering if it would be okay to tow it without the engine and trans seeing that it probably doesn't way much and i dont want to break anything.I will be towing it 20-30 miles tommorow so please any help would be appreciated.[IMG][/IMG]
This is how the car will be towed.

should be ok, but the axels might bind up, i would tie them to the rear cross member and not the front, make sure the axle nuts are on so you dont loose a wheel

if you are towing with front wheels on a car dolly you would be fine. if towing with 4 wheels on the ground ild be cautious about the axles spinning and burning through that strap. i have axle ends that i use if i have to tow on the ground to keep the wheel hub and bearings together

wheel bearings, are the biggest issue you would have, move the axel straps to the rear cross member and make sure your axels nuts are on and you should be fine, but make sure the brakes work before you hit the road

i agree with wolf if you leave the axles in they spin as fast as the wheels do i would take a chance with that strap breaking or axle moving around
