Re: body shell trolley

[Neal Tovsen <ntovsen@piper.hamline.edu>]

I just saw one of these on "My Classic Car" on TNN, and it's way cool.
They were using it for painting a unitbody. I don't think that it is
intended to be used with anything but the shell. I doubt that you could
use it on a car with suspension/engine/etc.

I couldn't tell where it mounted to, but it looked like it bolted to the
chassis somewhere around the front/rear bumpers. It was balanced well,
because they shop guy flipped the whole car shell over to show the
underside.
