Moving a car with no wheels I have sold my wheels. The hood is off and the engine out and I am taking the bay apart to repaint it. I would still like to be able to move the car around. With out wheels I can't roll is or put it up on those wheel dollies. A rotisery is probably not an option since so much of the car is still together.
I was wishing that if the jacks stands were on dollies I could move the car around. Yet, I am guessing that would not be very stable and could real easily fall of the stands.
Any one got any ideas that would enable to move the car at least forward and backward so I could get it out of the garage?

You can get dollies to sit under the frame rails and wont have any trouble. Block up the rail if you need more height. Call a rental center or go look. Maybe it will be a furniture dollie instead, heavy duty of course.
We did 2 jacks under the rear frame rails and 1 under the front k-member.. Now if you dont have the k-member in place, use 2 jacks under the front 2 frame rails..
Not hard at all, we used 3 people just to be safe rolled it out of the shop and into a parking spot.

Hehe, just messing around... I moved my Charger with no engine/no suspension in it with a jack, moved the back over first, then the front (We were moving it across the driveway)...
