A while ago I seen a guy post pics on here of his body dolly ade out of 4X4's with casters. I have searched high and low for the pictures and cannnot find them. If the gentlemen who made the dolly could possibly repost the pictures I would greatly appreciate it. The picture that was shown was the car on the dolly in his yard on the grass. Thanks again.

I remember that picture too... but haven't searched for it yet. All you'd need to do (as long as this is a temporary cart being used since wood will warp, twist and sag from humidity and age over time)... is make a rectangular cart with a caster bolted under each corner. Use the rocker panels as a guide for your dimensions since the cart will sit under the rockers to support the shell. You want the cart as long and wide as possible and convenient, to provide the most stability and balance.

Here's a picture of a wooden body cart that I used temporariy for my '69 coupe. Again, if it's temporary, wood is fine --short term. But anything longer than that-- go metal.:yes: Trust me. I spent around $300 for the metal and hardware on my metal cart at the time, and have no regrets at all... It's one of the best tools you'll own.

yes, this is just temporary so I can get to the underside with the subframe out. Thanks for the link to the chevelle but that is not the one. Looking at those casters I wouldn't attempt to push that across any lawn. The orginal picture the guy had almost looked like casters that used go cart wheels. Thanks for the help.
