Looks nice. Not sure if the wife has plans or not, but feel free to let me know if you need a hand. I am up in Oro Valley.

I should have built one. I use a crane to move the body and just dumped it on the driveway for storage. Anyone still have the plans (or is it on corvettefaq or something?)

Looks great, I would love to get a set of the plans. Did you come up with them yourself, or find them from some other source?

I hope you used quality roller bearing type casters on the bottom. I had a couple fall apart after the body had been on a while.

I don't remember where I got this but I am sure it was from someone here. Because the castors I used were 5" instead of the called for 4", I cut my 4x4s at 13"
