Had to go to the shop today and work on my nieces Charger. Had to put a #4 injector new spark plugs and intake manifold gaskets on it. You have to remove the intake to change 3 of the plugs.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

I did forget to mention I took the Torino for a spin around the parking lot today. OK I pushed it from the shop to my other warehouse so I could work on the Charger but it handled really well on the body dolly.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

Ed my body dolly is a heavy duty pallet with swivel casters works great and makes great firewood when your done with it. Glad to hear it Patrick it will be easier on Tammy if her dad is closier.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

I may try the pallet....my problem is that I have to wheel it in and out of a sloped garage pad.........maybe it will be easy enough to handle that I can do it by myself.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

Ed- go to the local lawn mower/ tractor sales place. Get a long pallet ( 4-6') add castors and set the body on it. They give the skids away, and the longer ones are great to support the body, and make it easy to maneuver.HRPT LH- 09,10,11,12

Ed I am able to move the Torino around by myself in and out of the shop and my drive and shop floor has a slope. When we did the shop floor we sloped it 2" so the water would run out the door when we clean the floor. I went to harbor freight and bought a 3" swivel caster all 4 were 21 bucks and I used 4' X 4' pallet and it works great. The good thing about 4 swivel casters is you can turn the car around in its foot print.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

OK, sounds like a good plan to me. I've seen a lot of guys use old boat trailers, but that involves building support structures and a one-dimension movement capability. This is much better. I like the idea of a longer pallet......the coupe is pretty long with the fenders installed.....maybe I'll take them off before trying to lift it though.........pretty heavy. Thanks.Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

The Torino is 19' long and a uni body car plus the pallet sets it at normal ride height with the castersGreg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!
