I got tired of moving the damn car all over the garage with a couple floor jacks, so I invested in 18' of steel 2x2 channel. That, a couple casters and some welding and spray paint, and now I can move it all over the place by myself.

$45 or so. Most expensive part was the casters @ $30 total.

Hf ftw!!!

Make me a set and I'll test them out on several cars for you. I have the Omni, Caprice, Intrigue, Malibu, Delta 88, and L-series to give you a good testing.:eyebrows::eyebrows::eyebrows:

The casters are rated for 300 lbs, or 1200 lbs per dolly. More than enough for a gutted stripped omni with no motor. :)

Have fun with flat spots on the dollys. I used to use a furniture dolly for motors and they flat spot badly.
