Stand for body
Looking for a good stand to put a1971 body on while I work on the chasis restoration. Is there a good one that can be purchased so I can set the body on it and not have it flex over time while it just sits and awaits being put back together?

Search for "Body Dolly", there are plenty of results. I seached and found a thread where someone put together plans to build a dolly.

Thanks, those are nice and very detailed. Not sure I could replicate that but I am on my phone for now so maybe it will not seem so bad once I get a larger screen in front of me.

Hi gr,
Here are the plans for the dolly I made for my 71. Not as nice as KB's but it still supports the body at the body mount points and only takes a couple of hours to make.
Regards,
Alan
