Corieb,
go up to the top of the board here and do an advanced search for "frame off" in the C3 section and you find all kinds of stuff. kortensi is in the process of doing his and I am sure he will give you an idea how he made his.

Search the archives; someone posted plans for a body dolly. You might even find plans through Google.

Seems to me there was a guy named Noland Adams that published plans for such a thing.
