Thread: Wheel Dollies vs Jack Dollies

Tweet

Might be alittle out in left field with this answer.Alot more work to build.But if your restoring the project anyways,why not build a rotisserie on wheels??.That way you could have the car on it's side to make more room.Sure it is a matter of degrees of what work you are doing.

One really good use we did find for the HF dollys was when I got my 46 Tudor home a couple of years ago it has no running gear, just a frame, and we needed a way to move it around. We found a big wooden pallet, put four of the HF dollys under it, and strapped them in place with rachet straps so the dollys were tightly held to the pallet. We put the car balanced on that setup, and it moved around like butter.

I was a little leary and thought the car might tip off of it, but it's been on there for two years and we have pushed the car all over the shop with no problems. Only recently did we put jack stands under the entire car as Don was tearing stuff off and we didn't want the car to fall over.

But it was one of those temporary fixes that actually worked long term.
