Default Car Trolley

Hey guys, does anyone no where I can find one? I think thats what you call it. Basically the car won't have any suspension, and I will need to move it around a bit.

Some heavy duty casters and 2x4s would do it, if built structurally sound.

are you thinking of a rotisserie or a dolley. I thought that evil had a rotisserie. Same as in my pic on the side.

A body cart. I bought some 4x4's and 4 casters and built one. If you put a cross beam at the rear torque boxes and one at the front torque box it works just fine. BTW don't use the super cheap casters they bend and cause trouble. Also I did shorten it down a bit. I moved the caster beams closer to the cross beams at the torque box area, then loped off the ends. But you get the idea just need to be a little creative.

body cart! that's what I'm talking about. yours looks good.
I wouldn't mind a steel one though, keep the rails skinny for access.
my bro could probably fab something up, but I still owe him big. lol
maybe I should just get a tig and build it. or a bolt together for storage.

He needs to be able to take the wheels and suspension and stuff like that off, so those wont work.
