Scott,
Does that beauty have some way of adjusting up and down? (Or jacking up and down.) Or do you have to use some other means to get the center of gravity of the body up at the same level as the axis of the car dolly? Do you think it would work for a bodyshell and frame combined?

Ya Scott. Definitly need up and down adjustments. I said the hell with it and got the Roto II. Ya, I know,expensive. But it will also lift the body off the frame so you can slide the frame out from under it.

I built one with 3 ton hydraulic jacks at each end to adjust up and down.It aslo has a truck rotor on each end to spin the entire body/frame 360 degrees so you can work on any part of it without getting underneath. Total price for parts $216 and a weekend in the garage building it.
