I have looked for the pictures I have of the Roadster
body off the frame on a roll around cart. The best
roll around cart I have found is an old IBM mainframe
diskdrive cabinet. They are 4.5 feet long, 2.5 feet
wide and can hold 5000 lbs. They have solid rubber
wheels with locks. I found mine behind a state
building being thrown away and asked if I could have
it and they said yes. I lucked into it but with some
research you might find one. BTW: I traded mine for a
Studebaker V-8 so my friend can get his Stude slide
top wagon running. I think a 63 Stude would make a
very cool tow vehicle.
