Transporting a 911 without suspension on it

[sempaipaul]

Guys,

I have a worrysome situation here... my car that I am restoring is in a shop. It's been painted but not undercoated. The shop was recently sued as someone got hurt and, appears as the owner has no interest in getting things finished up. I'd like to get the car out of there, but it's essentially on furniture dollies and I have no idea how to transport it. Any thoughts?

Thanks
Paul

Build a dolly out of 4x4s and large casters. lift the car on to the dolly, strap it down and roll it out into/onto a trailer.

There are many examples of a body cart with a simple search.

Or have a couple of guys carry it onto the trailer. Done that many times. Just lay it on its belly.

I have a set of dollies, one front and one rear.
Push the car as far forward as it will go until the front dolly hits the back of the trailer.
Then lift the front and pull the car forward until the back dolly hits the trailer.
Then lift the front and put on a dolly.
Lift back and push forward until car is where you want.
Remove front dolly.
Strap down.
Drive home.
Reverse the procedure.

Has anyone done this long-distance? I am potentially faced with a similar challenge, but for cross-country! Will shipping companies accept a car on such a dolly with small casters?

I have personally used cheap, harbor freight furniture dollies to transport a car cross country. It works fine.
