Moving car shell

[acealfa]

Hi all I'm after some ideas or a product.

I've got a car shell that I need to store/move on rough ground and thinking about the cheapest and easiest way to do it.
I was looking at trolley dolly boards but the weight is too much. My other option was to make a frame but would be a fair bit of work.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

You are 'looking for', not 'after'.
After something makes no sense whatsoever.

PH; Grammar matters.

Makes perfect sense. 'After' in the sense of 'in pursuit of'...

Winch shell onto car trailer.

Park trailer where you want shell to end up.

Anchor shell to immovable object.

Rev tow car to 6k and drop clutch.



Think of the old table cloth trick.

I used a couple of mates a scaffold board and a wheel barrow.

I'll let you figure the rest out

Makes no sense to me, but you caused me to do some research. It seems it's from America, Australia or NZ and has caught on over here so is informal or slang. It's not recognised by some English dictionaries, but is by others.

Anyhow, back to the (dull) original topic...

Oh the irony.

'You're'. (short for 'you are').

Sorry.

I'm glad somebody took the bait

What's the shell? From your user name there's a chance it could be an Alfa of some description.

I've just made a dolly for my 105 series Spider - I've now decided that I need to upgrade to a rollover jig, so I'm in the process of making that. Once complete I think the dolly will be redundant. Not sure what part of the country you're in, or what transport you have available - PM me if you're interested.

Alternatively - Screwfix have a chopsaw that will easily handle 25mm box section on sale this weekend for £50 (offer ends today). Metalstore.co.uk have good prices, and a fantastic level of service. There are loads of places online that will sell castors that will handle the weight for £10 each.

But "rough ground"? That needs the biggest wheels you can, not castors.
