C3 Body Dolly

[Jeff P.]

I've searched ,but find a lot of C2 input. Does anyone have a diagram of a dolly for a C3 Body lift? Thank You

Re: C3 Body Dolly

Same as a C2 with slight extension off the front box to catch the radiator support area of a C3. I'll see if I can't come up with pic of a modified C2 dolley.

I think it's Nolan that has a great diagram in his restoration book. Same as C2 with the front extention to catch the radiator support asMichael said.

Jeff,

Images here were taken many years ago but believe you'll get the gist. The 'extension' you would need to add to front box would catch the radiator support area of a C3. You do not have to use the actual radiator support between the front fenders. I made up a light gauge metal support that bolted between the inner fenders.

Thanks,guys. I'm not prejudice but its nice to see a C3 on a Dolly. Most I ever see are C2s. Ill take a closer look,but nothing in the back I see . Do you bolt the car onto the dolly?

No need to, body rides on dolly. On later convertibles did incorporate a strap attached at the striker jamb then attaching at the door hinge to support rear of car.
