One important thing it to make sure the front is well supported. If left hanging in the air is can flex badly. The rear body can support itself without problem.

Hi,
D is right about supporting the front of the front clip.
On ths dolly the front crossmember is located so 2 supports can be installed once the body is on the dolly.
If you look carefully you can see a couple of inches of each of them in this picture. They're about 2 feet in from each side.
Regards,
Alan
