Although controversial from a purists point of view, I have discovered 
that the foam spoiler on my '85 Spider makes a nice cushion for hauling 
larger items. A good thick canvas tarp over the retracted convertible 
top provides a reasonably stable base for a sheet of plywood upon which 
one can carry any number of things.

Then by all means secure it all to the car as carefully as possible. 
Home Depot has a number of fabric tie downs which work well. Bumpers, 
frame, jack points, etc. best connection points. Hauled a 4'x6'  poster 
once with liberal quantities of duct tape.

And drive slowly.

By the way is cmu.edu Central Michigan University? Snow belt sub zero 
temps this week?

Yikes,
