Wheel Dollies and tons of different types on Ebay. What brand have you folks had good success with ? I'm breaking down and will let a friend help me with my AA this winter. I want to make it easy to move on his shop floor and be as inconvenient for him as possible. Thanks, Pat

Well like most things you get what ya pay for. I have a set of these cheapos which suck. They can easily kick out from under the tire when rolling the car. Not only do they not roll great, i had one kick out and shoot into my ankle. I thought it was over at that point, but to my surprise i limped away. If you do go with the HF style dollies run a strap around them and over the tire for safety. Go jacks are probably one of the better ones out there..

I bought a set from HF and could not be any happier with the quality and the ease to use and move the car around.
You are also able to use one 20% coupon on all four.
Harbor Freight buys their top quality tools from the same factories that supply our competitors. We cut out the middleman and pass the savings to you!

Super nice dollies, shop, shop floor, and cars. I like the smart 3 sided design
Thanks for sharing the ideas, i might make a set up like this in my spare time.

If I had any like the orange one Mitch posted, I'd run angle iron across each pair of studs, with the vertical side facing in, and the vertical ends cut at 45* so you don't cut yourself or the tire. That would add a lot of strength and act as tire guides to keep it snug in the valley, instead of possibly turning to the side.

I just got my first Model A and was in need of some wheel dollies. After a lot of searching and reading many reviews, I ended up with the ones I'm linking, made by Red Hound auto. So far, so good! No problems at all and I'd recommend them. I also got a basic jack and wheel chocks from my local AutoZone. I now have it down to a routine of jacking the front axle and then the differential, using the chocks during the first step. I have the Tudor on dollies because it's still winter and I don't want to have to deal with cleaning snow from ANY of my cars this time of year if I don't have to!
I think one of the most important things is to not rush and just lower the car < < < s l o w l y > > >. Safety first!
