Rick: I bought the Harbor Freight dollies and have used them extensively.
Most recently they have been supporting a 1990 Mustang GT parts car I'm
taking apart. Other times, my LBC's have been pushed around the garage and
yard on them. Because each one has 4 rather heavy casters, it seems that a
heavier car is easier to move than the light ones, i.e., my shell of a
Bugeye Sprite isn't heavy enough to make the wheels swivel, but the Mustang
is a piece of cake. The one shortcoming is that they won't easily support my
jack stands because the bottom is curved to meet the wheel. I haven't tried
it, but I think by building a platform out of 2x lumber would do the trick.
In any event, I find them to be well woth the money. Watch for a sale;
sometimes as low as $49/pr.

that have 3-4 casters each that are placed under the car tire and also have
a jack stand option (frame placement). These are a great way of pushing
project cars around in a shop without the hassle of jockeying.
