Anyone have a set of 4 wheel dollies? I found a set at Harbor freight for 115.00 but maybe one of you have a set that you want to get rid of.

I've looked at them several times too, but with no k-member or rearend under the car, just didn't seem like a good time to buy them. lol

The ones from habor freight go on sale here and there for like 35.00 a pair but the if the floor you are rolling the car on isn't very smooth them they kinda suck. A buddy of mine has a set. I would look for some with a better caster. If you can afford to get a pair of Go-jacks they kick ass.

Got a nice and smooth concrete floor at the shop. I figure if I pull both work trucks out, I can just wheel the coupe into the middle of the shop to work on it. Then move it back when I am done. The car has no motor or trans right now so it is really lite.

If I get time tomorrow, I will go get the dollies from Harbor freight. The thought of being able to move the coupe without pulling it outside is a good thing.

I have this set bought from harbor Freight... I got them for my car while the engine and tranny was out but still was too heavy for me to move around in the garage, so I don't use them...

Keith if your still interested, you can have em for $50, if not, somebody wants them can have them for that price.

Thats what we found with them, if they had a better caster then it they would be great. If you have a smooth floor and a helper they will do.

They are all metal even the wheels. They look like they will work. Busted only 2 knuckles putting the first one together. Damn chinese bolts. Need to get the rear end back in the car so I can see if these things work. More later.
