Hi Paul,
My guess is it's not really strong enough. A bookshelf is designed for
a static load while standing up. You propose using it for a dynamic load
while laying down.
Why not make a rectangle of 2X4s, and screw a sheet of plywood to it.
Mount those castor wheels (that you have to buy anyway) to each corner and
put the chassis on that? Pretty cheap, plenty strong. When in doubt,
overbuild.
Use the shelves to store spare parts ;-)

Humanity
Thrift Store where I work. I wanted to know if I could use it for
frame/scafolding for my upcoming TR3 rebuild. When laid on it's side (for
my
purposes) it would measure 12 ft.long, 3 ft. wide and 1 1/2 ft. off the
ground.
