Got some good news today!!! :banana: :banana:

I did a project for my daughters school (building the sets for the class play). During that time I meet the H.S. shop teacher and they were looking for a class project for the advanced welding students. Well "Statler" was accepted, but now I need to get him to the School on Monday. The problem is I have taken most of the front suspension off the car to restore it and now really do not have the time to re-assemble it. I can put the rear on car dollies any ideas for the front???????

Why not dollies with some wood blocks or similar to give the frame some height (all strapped down really well of course)?

Sounds like you scored some free labor!

I agree with Skip-

With the engine out its probably light enough to just buy some large Harbor Freight swivel casters and clamp a 2x6 or something across the front of the frame with those wheels?
