Well I did make it to Harborfreight today and bought some casters to put on the engine stand I built for the body. The casters themselves each are rated to hold 330 pounds, for a total capacity of 1,320 pounds, which should be sufficient to hold the weight of the wooden stand and the body with no problem. Regularly $5.99, I got these 4" casters on sale for $2.99 each. I bought some hardware from Home Depot, including 2" 5/16" bolts, nuts, and some wide 5/16" washers. So on each corner of the body stand I marked some holes, using the upside-down caster as a template. Then I drilled some 3/8" holes for the bolts. With four holes for each caster, I propped each corner up using some 2x4 scraps stacked together. Then I fed the bolts up through the caster and holes and bolted a washer and nut down on the top of the wood to secure each caster. Now the body stand is on wheels. It is pretty solid and rolls fairly easily. This is going to make doing this project in a smallish two car garage much easier.
