What are the thoughts on the tire straps? They would seem to hold lateral loads.

My concern strapping the axles would be damaging brake lines or other undercarriage parts. I just looked at the '41 and I would not interfere with brake lines when I strapped to the axles, either front or rear. The brake lines on the newer car (1967 - non-flathead) has brake lines running just behind the top surface of the rear axle.
