My '70 Charger's front end is stripped. Do they still make those dollies that bolt to the unibody rails? Or is there another super cheap idea that will work??

I just made my own. Mine bolts onto the front bumper mounting holes on the frame.

A piece of 1/4 plate with some square tubing welded onto the side of it. I got some 6" wheels at Menards. The larger the wheels the better.

What my car is sitting on in my sig pic is not what I'm talking about. I can try and find a pic of what I made if you want.

There are places that sell pre-fab dollies but they're pretty spendy. You're better off just picking up some scrap iron and doing it yourself.

Here's some pics of mine and some others: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,67346.0.html
