Re: good car dollys?
I got some from HF, they are ok. Granted all I've used them under is a basically empty frame with all the suspension still on it.
Best I learned while reading up on them, if you want something that will actually move a fully built vehicle around "easy", buy some expensive go jacks. If you're just wanting something that will support and a few guys can move around, get the cheaper ones.

Not sure of their quality but HF has these for $49.99 per set with their "Super Coupon".

Harbor Freight are not bad while doing body work at all. I have them and like them for the price and what I use them for myself.

Summit Racing sells several different models, from $125 - $175 for a set of 4, depending on weight rating. These are made by AutoDolly, look to be well made.
