What do you guys/gals use to move your car around when the subframe and rear are removed?
I'm cramped for space so I will need to move my car in/out of the garage to work on it. Thanks! |

I moved mine with a 2x4 under each side where the sub frame bolts up with a 4x4 across the two with a floor jack,my rear was still in the car though. it rolled very easy as the half of a car was light.you might be able to rig up some swival wheels on some 4x4's for the back.
If you can I would sujest a body dolley that would also allow you to roll it to work on the under side while standing. I think they run around 1500.00 though. good luck ------------------ camaro's for ever!!! ![]() 67 327 11:1 4spd. 70 454 400thm 10 posi my 70 454 camaro |

Ditto...2x4's, 4x4 posts and a couple of friends.
I also put the car on a small lawn mower trailer and pulled it in and out of the garage.------------------ Racer#00 Plain Jane 67 76 Trans Am Stock Car 74 Z28 (Basket case) |

I built a 2x6 frame as a body gig.put 4x4's in the corners about 12" long with some casters bolted to the bottom of the 4x4's,rolls like a dream.The gig will slide in between your jack stands for the install,i even loaded it in my car trailer for the trip to chem strip.Hope this helps.

The slickest set up that I have seen was a welded up frame that bolted to the frame mounting holes in the body. It had a trailer hitch on it and with the rear axles on you could take it any where. The guy did a lot of restorations and he had a set of dolley wheels that bolted ( quickly) to the front of the frame to move it around the shop. It was really cool and not a lot of work. If you needed to take the car to the paint shop you just rolled it away, with the suburban.
