Bill,
I'm glad that it worked out.  Way to think outside the box.
That is the same dolly that I've bought to move and store 
old/spare/waiting for attention engines and transmissions.  I take the 
carpet off and sit the engine or tranny on them and then can wheel them 
to the corner where they are stored.  If I need one that is in the back, 
it's easy to move others out of the way and access the one that I need.
