I can't hold her captain, I DONT HAVE THE POWER!

Sorry about the corny Ace Ventura title but I thought it was appropriate for my next post. We have been so busy adding components to the car we didn't realise what was happening to the car trestles. As we looked from the bottom we noticed that the stands where warping. The legs had become very bowed and they didn't look stable at all. The last thing we wanted was to hear a big crash in the night and the thought of our time and money smashing on the concrete floor.

We needed to resolve this problem fast. We decided to make a dolly out of some old bits that had been left in boxes for a rainy day. The idea that it would have wheels would enable us also to move the build  around the garage or rotate it so other areas could be accessed with more ease.

To build the dolly we used;

4 rotating wheels
2 pieces of old table top
6 pieces of wood
A handfull of bolts and screws

Firstly we fitted the wheels to the bottom of the table top.

We then screwed and bolted to wood to the top of the table.

To add strength we attached another old table top onto the top of the wood struts.

It was screwed together and there you have it.  

At a later date we decided to add some side struts between the upstanding wood, just incase it needed any extra support.

Finish product, looks pretty good

We are now able to wheel the car around the garage, good job!
