Door dolly

It’s like I had too much time on my hands!!! Anyway, needed to find a way to put the doors on and off the cab on my own and I also need a dolly for when it comes to paint time. So I came up with this adjustable dolly to do the hard work of holding the door whilst I align the hinges and bolt it up. Turnbuckles to the rescue....

Looks like a great idea for fine tuning the door to get it aligned with the cab! Much easier that wrestling it with one hand. Good job on the design and build of the rolling jig!
Regards,
Chris

Nice!! Better than a helper since it is in the same position that it was when you removed it.

Later!

I have a commercial model...they really make door removal/installation/alignment a breeze.
