Hey guys. Is there an easy and safe way to move the body of the vehicle to the media blaster? The subframe is off the car. Are there specific dollies I can use to roll the body onto the flat bed? Thanks.

Rich concocted these from some scrap metal. Its handy in the shop, to be able to move the body around.

the rear just has saddles that sit on the frame, and a support brace that bolt to a an existing screw mount.

bolts to sub-frame location. Wheels didnt last too long, and had to get some better ones.

I'm in the same boat but just went and got a rotisserie so they can blast the bottom as well. Also makes it much easier to work on the car.

EXACTLY.....



They make "body carts" but they're not nearly as handy as a Rotisserie....

I would vote buy a rotisserie, I built mine, because I think I need to say I built that, I saved a little, but could have been working on the car instead of welding and cutting, I also built a body cart, It was pretty easy, Rotissierie is a tool you will always use, I think Auto twirler is a pretty sweet brand

Go look at mine. It was cheap, easy, breaks down and you havn't lost anything if the sandblaster gets into it!
