I am starting a restoration in the next few weeks. Both longs are getting repaired first and whatever surprise these bring. I have door braces ready. I want to build a dolly so that I can move the car in the garage. Building it out of 2x6's that I have. Ordered 6 steel swivel casters, 4 with brakes, each rated for 385 lbs for a total of 2310 lbs. Plans is to bolt together two vertical 2x6 boards for the length and one for the width attached with 2 lag screws into each 2x6 side. I have corner metal hangers to reinforce the corners if necessary. The wheels and 2x6 on the side are 10 inches tall. Plan is to have 2 2x4's on the flat screwed in as necessary for the car to sit on. Might stack two of them to get more height. Plan is to support the car under the rear and front fire walls.
Does all this make sense? I want to top of the dolly to be modular so that I can move the support 2x4's as necessary. Here is a basic schematic of what I am trying to do.  |
