tip and flip dolly

Well after having the plans for several months and no need for it I finally got around to building my tip and flip dolly, althought right now it is just a dolly as I haven't built the tip and flip arms yet.It is a very nice unit and checks out square and will VERY nice for restoring a cab I have to pick up from the blaster on Monday.The plans were very easy, clear, and precise and was a joy to have However it was more costly that I had planned on as I have right at $300-350($225 in metal alone) in the metal,casters, plywood and of course A LOT of welding wire and Argon gas and not to mention about 15-20 hours labor to date and have not built the arms yet Plus I'm not the best welder in the world and that kinda slowed me down a bit as well, thank goodness for a grinder . I wanted to show it off to you guys as nobody know's what the heck it is Please be gentle on my welding skills or lack there of
Big thanks to Kevin @ LFD for the excellent plans and being so helpful with some issues I had locally to get started building it.
Anybody else built theirs yet?
