Look in your [Home Depot, HomeBase, Lowes, etc] for heavy duty,
three-castered plant stands. I think they were about $16 each with a load
capacity of 350 pounds each. That only adds up to 1400 pounds, but I've
used them with a 1800 pound 914 - I just didn't leave the car on them once
it was in place (I raised it, took the casters out, and lowered it onto
jackstands).

Subject: Car Dollies Question
Hello,
Does anyone have a line on (relatively) inexpensive car dollies? I've
looked on the web somewhat and found the cost of two being $150->$200.
I would like four wheel dollies so that I can tuck my Spit into a corner
of my garage for the winter. I considered making them myself but would
rather buy them if I could get four for under $150.
The ones I've seen typically can handle up to 6000 lb.. Obviously those
are for much larger cars. I haven't found any cheap ones for smaller
cars. Any one else looking for the same thing?
Thx in advance for all the info.
