Dec. Tech. - Model A body cart.
« on: December 06, 2006 10:01 PM »
I've been building a Model A body cart to mount my Sport Coupe body on while I do the panels and body work.  Just finished welding it together. I cut off an A frame just in front of the front cowl mounting holes and took out the rear crossmember, welding in a tube to accept any A body. I'm not sure if the casters are strong enough, but the price was right...free. An A body isn't very heavy anyway. Hopefully this will make working on the body and rolling it out of the way a little easier.

Hopefully this doesn't piss anyone off....If anyone needs an A frame, I know more than one person that has a couple just laying around.  This one I cut up had a twisted rail and no front Xmember.  So I thought it was well worth the effort to make a cart.   :)

haha, I did the same thing with a 56 chevy frame once, but at the time I had about 10 spare frames, now I only have one spare and am starting to wonder what I was thinking
