Ataru,
Darn, I lost my sketchings and plans for the frame-off dolly. I'll scope
out the frame next weekend, and post a new sketch. I've posted some pics of
the frame dolly and body supports at
http://www.2xtreme.net/fredkatz/2lrestr.html
Also, the frame dolly is constructed out of 2x8 lumber, not what I said
earlier.
