The car (body) came on this very basic cart. Not the greatest. The pinch weld sits directly on the 2x2 frame of the cart and is kept from sliding off by a few tabs. Mike and I ran straps through the car and around the cart to transport it to Vegas and then nearly dropped the body in the street trying to get the car off the trailer and into the garage. Looking at ways to modify the cart so the car is secure, won't fall off and could be transported on it. I'm not a welder, but a buddy came by and we've discussed a few options. At first I thought the body just needed to be re-positioned on the cart, but the frame rail supports in the rear kind of prevent that. The frame rail supports are kind of flimsy and of course the wheels all have flat spots on them and don't want to cooperate. I've got wheels so that's not a big deal. Shouldn't the car be up off the cart and supported differently? This is a new one for me.





The body rides more on this tab than the cart. Not ideal.



The tabs in the rear don't do sh!t.





Thanks for looking.
