Default Best way to load a non rolling shell onto trailer

Long story short, I have a parts Del Sol that over the last year has gone from a rolling chassis to a stripped down shell thanks to me and about 5 other people needing a part here and there.

My question is this, without the aid of a tractor, what is the best way to load a non rolling shell onto a open flat bed car trailer for removal to the scrap yard?

just pick it up with the bucket... if you are scraping it just run some chains through it and pick it up!!!


Edit: if no bucket just use a wench!

6 people, [you and your 5 friends that needed parts] can probably lift a stripped Del Sol onto the flat deck without breaking a sweat. 94

For me, a local scrap yard just came with a flatbed and pulled it up with a winch. It had no suspension/wheels. Or just get like 8 people, haha.

I thought about cutting mine up too, but decided against it because I hadn't removed any of the fuel/brake lines. Before you go to all the trouble, call your local scrap yards and see if they'll pick it up. For me, they didn't give me any cash because scrap prices are so low right now...I was just happy they took it for free.
