Default Re: Body Cart for Tudor Body

I built one when i did the wife '28 tudor. I built it out of 2X6. However, I am building a new one for my delivery. I am using a frame that I got from a friend. Add a cross member and cut it off at the cowl, add legs and castors. Thinking of making the legs adjustable for height so I can lift or lower the body pending what part I am working on. The reason I am not using the wood cart that I made previous is that the delivery is basically all wood with a tin skin and i want to ensure that all the body bolts still line up when I put it back on the chassis. Building it ON a model A frame should ensure this. I got the idea of using a model A frame from Brent Terry. The tricky part was finding a frame that was good enough to use but NOT good enough to be used on a car. I can't bring myself to cutting up something that is still useable.
