Body Dolly Question
Ok my 68 body is finally off the frame! I am using a lift. Rolled my body dolly under the body and have a question. I used this design,
(hope whiplash doesnt mind I borowed his pic) and I don't see what the front (by the front wheels) is supposed to support, I get a feeling its supposed to be the radiator support, but I left that with the frame. Any ideas?

Hey BigBad ...
In the same situation I flattened the ends of an appropriate length of 1/2" metal conduit and attached it to the front of the body dolly and the nose support. This keeps the front clip from flexing. Sorry to say but it's been there for a couple of years now. I can email pictures if needed.
I also put a piece of all-thread (threaded rod) between the fenders where the radiator support goes tfor support in that plane.
