Default I love my cart

C








Making slow progress, but that's fine. I repaired a couple of see through cracks in the firewall and smoothed the seems. Will be painting it semi-gloss black.

The cart cost about 120.😯

No kidding. How rewarding would it be to know personally that each and every aspect of your ‘Vette was well restored and that you did it yourself. Such an undertaking is well beyond my capabilities and I admire those who can do and complete such a project.

Looks like it puts the work at a nice height making it more pleasurable to really get into the job

With all that space to work, you could replace the heater core AND the power brake booster.

note to others thinking of using something similar. this cart is sufficient to hold a whole body. nose included. for a few hours at a time. if you build a similar setup for a whole body, a board has to be cut to the right length to sit under the rad support to hold the weight of the nose at the correct height when one is done moving the body around.

Cart looks good! Pardon the stupid question, but I can't quite figure out what the two items are on the frame front above the wheels.

Keep us updated on your progress.

Those are smaller casters that didn't work very well even on concrete. They were cheap.
