Wheel dollies
I have been looking at the wheel dollies myself. I even tried the ones from Harbor Freight. Wont' work.
I looked at those furniture dollies but wondered if they would support and move a 1964 Catalina. It is close to 4000 pounds. It looks like the wheels are 3" which is the same as the wheel dollies. Do you think these work better than the wheel dollies? Thanks. Mike. |

Wow blast from the past. Its been a while . Anything that has better wheels than the steel wheels work better. These ones glide very smooth and easy on somewhat smooth concrete. I think they would work.

Here's what the car look like now. That little 276 Desoto Hemi with the 5 sp kicks ass. It will fry the tires in first and really kick the ass end out in 2nd. Its a blast to drive. Most everything was built to the 1950s period correct stuff including the 1956 12 volt Imperial Generator and the stock 1956 power steering pump. The bottle on the firewall is a 1951 Almquist Water alcohol injection. The gauge cluster is 1956 Oldsmobile that works and holds the speed perfectly and accurately. The rear end is a 1959 9" Ford, the roof is from a 1929 Chevy 4 door sedan. The seats are 1959 Sprite seats. Rims are 16" 1940 Lincoln. So much has been done on this car and just my vision. I shot everything from body to frame in with a lazer level and it paid off. The first time out, it tracked perfect with no vibrations or wandering even with the Firestone bias plys.
From this ....  To this....  If anyone is interested seeing the full build you can click on the link. 8 years and most everything hand built to fit including the frame, suspension and body. http://s267.photobucket.com/user/six...?sort=2&page=1 Last edited by sixt8bird; 02-02-2015 at 09:47 PM. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
