Things have been slow the past couple of weeks.
I put the four wooden wheels on and ran into a problem in the rear. The lower shock mounts sit about 1" below the bottom of the drum brake and the wooden wheels weren't raising the rear-rend far enough off the ground such that the lower shock mounts were rubbing on the ground.
Back to the drawing board and another round of cutting wheels was in order with a larger radius this time.
------------------------------------------------------------
Like most people I don't really have a shop to work in, just a small space in the garage. Everything has to be on wheels so I can move things in, out and around in the garage.
I did find a cheap parts bin on rolling wheels on amazon. It has 60 bins on a small metal frame.
It cost about $130. Harbor Freight has a similar item for about $10 cheaper this weekend as part of big sale they have.
I added lock washers as they didn't come in the kit.
When I got it in the mail and put it together it was straightforward. The one major issue was that the top didn't correctly fit; it was too long. To get around this I cut a piece of wood to fit and screwed it on top in place of the tray. Then I flipped the top over so that it will easily hold stuff like a parts tray.
------------------------------------------------------------
Finally I built a rolling wooden frame to put the body on. It is designed to roll over the floorpan so I can get everything back in the garage.
I ran out of time to get the body off the floorpan and onto the wooden frame. Hopefully, I can that done this week.
Just about ready to start on the car.
