Car Dolly?

Post by DavidGMeier » Sat May 14, 2022 11:38 pm

I saw and old car dolly on Ebay years ago. I would like to see if any of you use one or have one for sale so that I can easily move my model around my shop without having to start it up.

Model T’s are light enough to make the Harbor Freight wheel dollies seem like adequate quality...

I agree with Kevin, harbor freight wheel dollies work great.

I have a set of dollies that will accommodate jack stands. This allows moving the car while the wheels are removed. They are modified Harbor fright dollies.

HF dollies work well...grease up the axles and wheels before using; they will roll a lot easier.

I’ll recommend the HF dollies again. Cat beat them for the price.

Even cheaper - get some HF moving dollies and tack on a couple pieces of 2x4's. Work great for a Model T.

There was a original set for sale at Chickasha this year . They really were cool looking . But they also look like they would take up a lot of floor space in the shop .
