Haven't had any quiet time to keep going on the motor, things have been a little frenetic work-wise especially with taking on a tub up restoration of a 76 C3 that another shop started and could not complete. Just rescuing it and cataloging (and cleaning) everything really sets you back.
Since I'll be painting this devil and completely redoing the suspension, thought yesterday and today would be good days to make a dolly.
The silk screen exposure unit from the Traveler Kids days had a clamshell frame that proved to be an almost perfect size for the base, the longest dimension being exactly the width of the rear jack points. And so the fun began.
Jumble of cut up exposure unit
Mounting plates I cut out of 1/4" steel plate
Welded on
Had drill holes through the frame and then tap M10 x 1.25
Caster mounted, went with 10.9 hardware
All casters on
After test fitting the dolly under the car I decided to make from front and rear mounts. I wanted the rear mounts to lock the car on the dolly using the pill-shaped opening in the jack plate. So I cut the spindles off the frame and cut vertically down the tube
Jack plate inserts ready to go
