[DeTomaso] Engine dolly build plans???

[Mike Drew]

Kirby,

Yes, that's where I got mine too.  Great quality.  I had him make it extra-long to support the gearbox, then had a gearbox cradle locally fabricated which bolts to the gearbox and just rests on the Stumpy cradle. Works great!

I sent a photo to the forum awhile ago but it seems to be lost in the tubes of the Internet?
