This worked really well for me. Only comment would be that you need to raise the bottom rail if your going to us a engine hoist to lift the body. It's really cheap to build.

I agree. I used that drawing to make one that I used last week.
It fit and worked as stated.
Gave me some peace of mind.
We also added a support to the back of the car.

This should also work if you can not find one and don't want to build one.

ps: When I am done with it in the spring, my plan is to offer it to any forum member who could use it as long as they agree to pass it on to another member when they are finished. I'll even deliver it within a few hundred miles.

Good luck....the wood dolly works good. I would make sure that you get casters that ALL swivel and decent size wheels. makes it real easy to move around.

I have the same wooden dolly. The only negative I have observed is that the section that supports the nose will flex on uneven surfaces because it is attached to the laterally running 2x4s. A little bracing will stop that.

This one breaks down and stores in a corner when you're done.

Thanks for all the info!
A fellow C2 owner built his to store the body ABOVE the rolling chassis! Saves room in the garage. Really clever. Now I get to build one!
