  • Frame weight

    Looking to build a rolling frame cart for my 49 B-1-PW-126. Finally down to frame on my restoration and am wondering if anyone has an idea as to the weight of the frame. Need to buy casters and build cart strong enough without a major overkill on materials and design. Looking to have it off ground by approx 3 feet and movable in and out of garage for blasting and painting. Any help would be great even if its your best guestament.

    Thanks

    Rotisserie not too hard to make from a pair of engine stands.

      Ended up welding up a cart with some 2x2 tubes and casters (400lbsI ea) so I can easily move in and out of garage for powering and painting. Like the engine stand method, can rotate around if nessecary.

        Does anybody have an estimation of what an empty frame + wheels + axles + springs weight? Trying to calculate shopping.
