Default Upright Rolling Dolly for C3 frame

Another member asked me to take some close up pictures of this dolly I made.
So I thought I would share it here.
Honestly I got the idea from a third member, NWav8tor
It solved some space storage issues I had. Rolls around easily with one hand.


Screwed to Harbor freight furniture dollys

38X40X62

38x40x62
Just 2x4s and $10 dollys from Harbor Freight

Thanks Leigh......that will be my next project. Looks like the dolly is just sitting on the HF dollys......or did you screw the 2x4's to them? I suspect its just sitting on it, as the frame is pretty heavy!!

Glad it worked for you Leigh. I've already disassembled mine and reused the lumber to make some racks to hang parts on while they are being prepped and painted...

I believe Leigh said he screwed his rack to the HF dollies. I used the metal wheel dollies I had. I placed a wood platform with blocks mounted to it across the "dished" area that normally would hold the tire. Then I screwed the rack to those blocks...

I never would have thought of this if I had not seen your picture. Thanks!

And I did screw it to the dollys because I did not want them to kick out from underneath, I have a 1 inch lip at the edge of the garage by the driveway.

I really love all the advice and ideas I get from everyone sharing stuff on this forum.

It makes me brave enough to do this. I certainly have never completely dismantled a car before!
