Restoration Body Dolly
Not sure if this is where I should post this but here goes anyway.
I like to display my works in progress on stands or jacks. I have quite a few versions already but I did not have a body dolly.  So I decided to build one. Mine will be 50mm on the short side and 60mm on the long.   Use the lines on your cutting mat to make sure the sides are perpendicular.

Re: Restoration Body Dolly
Cut some triangular gusset plates from .010 sheet to reinforce the corners.

Re: Restoration Body Dolly
Cut the legs from the same square tubing. My legs are 8mm long.
 Install them in the corners with top resting against the gusset plate.

Re: Restoration Body Dolly
Layout some holes for the body posts around the perimeter of the frame.
 Make the post from solid rod, I am using .062 and are cut to 10mm in length. Punch out some bearing plates from .010 sheet.

Re: Restoration Body Dolly
Glue the bearing plates to the top of the body posts but don't glue the posts into the frame. That way you can adjust them to fit whatever car you are working on at the moment.

Re: Restoration Body Dolly
Now we will make the casters. Cut wedges again for the same square tubing then open the narrow edge.
 Slices the wheels from some solid rod the inside width of the bracket. I am using .125 rod.  Cut some bearing plates for the top of the casters from .010 sheet. Mine are 5mm square.

Re: Restoration Body Dolly
Glue the bracket to the bearing plate and the wheel to the bracket. Then glue the caster assembly to the bottom of the legs.
