Teeheehee! I went undercover to last years gathering at jpIIIs and "borrowed" his idea!

3/4" plywood boxes internally braced with 2x2's. Glued, screwed, and very sturdy.

I get the car up there very carefully ...about 8" at a time (jack stands, cinder blocks, etc.) the boxes are 16x16x32, so halfway up the car is sitting on the box sides. Naturally, I forgot to factor in the 4" height of the casters, so upright everything is 36" tall. All it takes is time.

I should've gone to harbor freight for the casters, but went too cheap.

This spring I'm building another set that will snugly fit inside harbor freight "car dollys" (14x14x32) and a crosspiece to connect all the boxes together. Then I should be all set and have an easier time pushing the dang thing around...

great for engine drops and working under the car without getting neck cramps
