It is an old dolly I had. It held the body high enough that I could just duck under the wheel well and work in the engine compartment standing up. A buddy gave me a list of things that he had learned to do before the body drop. Wiring harness, heater box, wiper motor etc.

Thanks, Brett Stephens in Savannah, TN, is the man that painted it. He went above and beyond anything that I had even thought about with gaps and other details. Its definitely better than when it was new!
