Made a dolly for early Camaro..thought I'd share

[iluv69s]

In the front, I made 2 round hole saw holes on the bottom side of the large diameter sq. tubing and 2 smaller 5/8" holes in the top side at the correct width as the factory subframe mount locations. I then bolted thru into the front subframe monuts using factory bushings and bolts. I welded the 2 bars that extend to the rear at the correct distance apart so I could bolt thru the bars into the rear factory subframe mount locations also. I welded sleeves in the bars so they wont crush. I also used factory bushings and bolts in the rear mounts.

In the rear of the car I just made 2 plates with the same bolt hole dimensions as the bottom shock plates. The top plate has the extra hole in the center for the tab that is on the leaf spring. I just sandwiched the 2 plates together with bolts.

I will take a few pics now that it is attached to the car as soon as I dig out of the snowstorm here !!!!

At first my front dolly only had the front portion...but because I wanted the car higher off the ground than stock, I made my dolly taller. And then I was scared it would fall over if the wheels got stuck for whatever reason. Or worse yet, it might damage the carriage bolts or the body with too much stress at the mounting points. So I added the rear braces as an afterthought....

but, I wish i would have seen your setup sooner...seems like a 1 hour build...mine took me all day...and more $$$$ I'm sure...now those we could market !!! haha Did you apply for a patent on those mounts??? hehe

Now I know for the next time...haha...Thanks

I connected the front casters to the back with 4X6's and as a bonus if I put bunk carpet on the wood I can put my boat on it.
