So I designed this cart for the body while I continue my so-far year long body prep for rust repair and restoration... all suspension is still attached. My design is 24 inches high. My jackstands lift the car to 17 inches. I needed 7 more inches - what was i thinking! it was VERY scary lifting the car and jack stands at each corner with 2x4 jack stand supports and jack pad/height "enhancer" LOL

Here it is. I'll get pics of the car up on it later.

I'm pretty sure it is MORE than strong enough to hold the car up. The castors I bought however may not be good enough as it is VERY difficult to move the car. They are each rated at 300 lbs. I guess it weighs more than 1200 with the suspension still on?

Can somebody take my autocad file and do an computer structural analysis on it?
