(the car is gutted except for the front and rear suspensions are on it yet) This was your problem. Other than the engine/trans, these are the heaviest items on the car. Remove those and two people can damn near carry the shell - ok, I'm exaggerating a little but you get my drift!

We bought a whirley jig back in 1992, got the offroad tire kit and the tires still are good to this day and support a car on the jig with no problem. I think I put air in them twice in 25 years. With that said, the right tires will be fine. I know I used hard plastic casters and they aren't fun in soft dirt and gravel.

Put down some plywood sheets, or 2x wood, and make tracks to and from for the car to roll on.
Move car. Stop. Reposition wood. Move car again. Repeat..... I was reading through to find out if someone mentioned this. What I was going to say. One other way (I going to try myself) is use 2/12s attached like a 4 post lift, stretchers in between. Just bolt together. I need to roll mine outside on gravel to sand blast. Put 1/1 strips on edge to keep from rolling off.
