67 barracuda notchback restoration
One of the other tools i built was a dolley to move the car body around in my shop. I saw the US car tool ones and thought they were a good idea however i built the front part of the dolley for mine to have removable wheeled legs so i could use it to "plug in" the front rotisserie frame. The rear wheeled part i welded the castors and legs to a spare pair of front spring eye hangars and bolted them up. I got lucky enough to get these bassick large diameter castors from work. They were cleaning up and sending a bunch of stuff for scrap metal including and old engine buildup stand. I asked if i could have them. My wish was granted. I grabbed my wrenches and took em off before they loaded the old stand up for scrap. All 4 castors swivel for a zero turning radius in the shop however i welded in removable locks to lock the rear castors straight if i need to roll it and dont want them to swivel. I also added a lift ring to the center of the front frame later so i can lift it up with my engine hoist to roll my engine and trans underneath for installation later on.
