What types of dollies do most of you use? I haven't bought a set yet, but want to know which type you like best.

Re: Wheel dolly
I don't recall the brand, but they are the standard black ones that have served me well and moved my 65 around my garage with ease. I will say that they have steel wheels, but never put a mark on my epoxied floor.- Top

Re: Wheel dolly
John, I have a set with the two rollers that go on each side of the tire and a jack that pulls the rollers together to lift the tire off the ground. If you periodically take the car in and out of the garage they are the only way to go. I bought them at Northern Tool awhile back. At that time they went for around $190/pair so you're at about $400 (+shipping if you're not close to their store) for a set of 4.
I also have a set that are the curved with 4 wheel type that you have to jack the car up and set it on them. If the car is being stored they work fine. On the '58 it's a bit of a hassle due to the steeriing pivot arm mount to jack up the nose.- Top

Re: Wheel dolly
I've used Go-Jacks every weekend for over 15 years and they work great. They have a foot jack to lift the wheels on a Corvette. No jacking up the car to put it on rollers. Two work great for moving a car around.- Top

Re: Wheel dolly
I thought I'd report back on the Summit dollies. They worked OK, but I couldn't budge the car with one hand. I had to use everything I got to get it moving. Once moving it rolled pretty well. Changes in direction also required a fair amount of muscle. I should mention that the garage floor has a rough texture. I suspect they will work much better once I put epoxy paint on the floor.
