Here is a cheap wood unit that worked great. Burnit when the job is complete. Cost about $40 with wheels.
Dimensions are on the wood. Assemble using 3" deck screws and 1/4" bolts
Support at rear mount is not required for coupes. Make height comfortable to be able to get under body. Place body on dolly and then install forward vertical braces to support front points.
Birdcage rails sit on the 1X6's.
The front end will support itself, the supports are just an insurance policy in case someone leans on the fenders

Looks pretty. Costs a bunch.

Lots of overkill for a body that weighs 500# and is used by the enthusiast 1 or 2 times......
