1959 Body Lift today...YT video clip

[Richard M.]

Figured I'd setup the camera and capture a video of the body lift today. Started at about 7am this morning and got it off by 5pm. I didn't rehearse. I did raise it just a little before the clip started just to make sure everything was ok. I figured if it worked I'd be happy. I was.

Rich,

Nice job on the body lift. I really enjoyed the video. That's quite the body dolly you have there. Did you fabricate it yourself?

Thanks Joe, Checked everything before the camera rolled but was still was a bit nervous.......

I bought the dolly from a man in PA about 2-3 years ago. He had his 62 on for 13 years he said and was time to part with it. I paid about $150 for it, but cost a bit more for my moving company to pick it up on the way down from NY.

The guy did a very nice job on it. 2"x3" heavy gauge channel, HD wheels with grease fittings, and the really cool thing about it is that he fab'd up brackets that attach to the sides of the radiator support and are adjustable.

Also posted a few pics on my site page "1959 Corvette Restoration Project"

Nice job!
They roll real nice and easy without an engine and tranny (and a body)!
