    I'd imagine the car Dollie's would do fine for this. Or I've seen people weld up a wheel cart that mounts to the rear bumper area

      I've used the HF dollies to push a chassis around the shop. For moving from shop/trailer/shop, I built a 2x4 wood frame on casters for it to nest on top of and strapped her down.

        Random side note - if you strip out the entire back of the car while the front of the car is also on stands/lift at the front jack points you need additional jack point further forward as well, the front of the car is heavy enough that if you take all the weight out of the rear of the car it will pivot at the front jack points.

          Put the rear end on two old bowling balls and it should roll
