Common sense rules. Thanks T
Yeah I was thinking about using a piece of cow mat like material (thick rubber mat) on the car dollies with the jack stand sinking/cutting into them.
I use the jack stands with car dollies and they are not welded.
I can move the body around my garage no problem.
I put two rear stands and dollies under the Dana axles. The front I use two of the same on the body frames near the torsion bar connectors... all not welded...
my cement floor is...
I have a couple of sets of the HF static dollies. They work fine. You just need to take a little time to shove the car around to get the casters oriented. What the hell is the rush? You're moving a classic car around for christ's sake. Take your time.
Plus the HF dollies work great for wheeling...
One of the things I did with my small trailer with no suspension was to lower the air pressure in the tires to make it ride better. Down side to that is you either need to carry something to air them back up or stop someplace to air them up before you get to your loading place.
Ya I can see 4 fitting but I just hope they're not so close to each other that it prevents working on them.
And good point, I can see a lift taking up more room. I know some 4 post lifts have casters on them so they can be moved. Not sure it that can be done with ease though.
Yes, I believe my...
Do you know how much it weighs?
I know they are light.
I pushed my 4 door parts car around on dollies all by myself.
I could almost spin it around from one end.
Very interested to see how it runs.
...but I did have a friend help me get the ramps out of the trailer. I put it together using my floor jacks, old t-bar for leverage, moving dollies and grunt. I asked the friend to help me assemble some of it but he didn't show. Was not about to pay $1600 to assemble when I paid $500 to disassemble.
...there. I took some cues and started making my own. First up, I took a spare K member and a bare 440 block.
Then I took a couple of steel dollies and welded some 2 x 3 channel....
I noticed that the bottom of the K member had holes in it, not sure of their purpose originally. I decided...
i honesty dont know what it weighs, was bought from a fellow member here by my best friend, and i purchased form his estate, stock curb weight is 3000 lbs, converted to a 360 small block with a ford 9 inch rear, so i would think 3500 lbs +/-
My friend and I assembled the Bendpack HD9W in a day. The runways were the most difficult to move around. We put them on harbor freight wheel dollies making it easier to roll them around. I think we also used a engine hoist to get under the lift to run the cables to the posts?
...shop is on wheels of some sort..... going on 40 years experience, and somewhat cocky; I was recently humbled.
I had a car on jackstands with dollies underneath, it worked great until it didn't; one of the "rigs" folded under and I dropped the car. it landed on a front rotor, and the opposite...
...would like the ability to drag / agility course the car. Thank you much for the advise on using the stock suspension(s) and upgrading. Don't want to waste the money if I can get the same performance with upgrades. I will begin a digital scrapbook once the car is on the dollies and post to the...
Now that my trailer is empty and could find the dollies I made for the lift, here are some shots of them. 1x2 090+ wall tube, solid material inside at the hinge points for the bolts. I also rosette welded them to the tubes so there is better strength in the assemblies. The only thing I re-used...
I think there would be the potential for the car to slide off. As the dollies are made for a tire to rest in, you'd have to set it up: dollie, wood block, jack-stand, wood block (unless you want to rest your car directly on the jack-stand). A WORD OF CAUTION!!! When I dropped the front...
Dollies are great (I have a used Demco that I got for like $400) for emergency, local stuff. I love the fact that I can tow it with just about anything since they don't weigh anything significant. My Demco already has a lock pin for the pivot, so I can lock it at will (or forget to unlock it...
