Dougs 67 Notch build
I needed a way to bring my painted engine home from the paint shop and using plans listed on this site I build my version of the "standard SB cradle" I used 2 X 12 for the verticals and 3/4" plywood for the floor. As I had to buy a 2 X 4 sheet of 3/4" I decided to build a two-part version of the cradle. The upper has scrap carpet glued to the bottom for sliding on my shop floor, and glued some foam on the top of the verticals to protect everything. The lower has the casters and carpet glued to the top for a "moving dolly" but my thought is to use it to set my transmission on when I get ready to mate the engine and transmission together. All pretty standard stuff.
