Re: [Chevelle-list] Body Cart
Thanks for all the responses. I talked to a couple of body shops and it sounds like they all make their own. I like the idea of just having someone make one. Since I'm not in the business of restoring cars, there's probably no point to paying so much for one. -Matt At 08:48 AM 10/18/2003 -0400, you wrote: If all your looking to do is be able to move it around the garage I can send you pictures of the one I built from 2x6 and 4x4's.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body Cart
If all your looking to do is be able to move it around the garage I can send you pictures of the one I built from 2x6 and 4x4's. I had mine acid dipped. If you want to be able to flip it to work on, mine won't work. I know a guy who bought all the steel at a scrap yard, then took plans to a welder and had one made.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body Cart
I made a rotisserie pretty cheap. It was safe and sturdy. I highly recommend one. Here's some pics: http://www.prostreetcar.com/body_rotisserie.html It was really simple to build, and with a welder would be even simpler.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Body Cart
They are not that hard to weld up. I made one, cost me about 125 dollars worth of steel.

RE: [Chevelle-list] Body Cart
I'd bet if you took a picture like this to a competent welding shop, they could build you one. A quick search on "body cart" didn't turn up much but maybe other mfgs use a different term. I'd also check with local body shops that might specialize in frame-off restorations to see what they might recommend.
