    I have a new basement garage with these steel support poles spread about. This is making it difficult to maneuver the race car to the section of the garage where I work on it. I was thinking that I have seen these things where each tire sits in a cradle with little wheel casters, enabling you to push the car around the garage.
    Anyone know where I can find these?

    A GO-Jack is a combination roller pad with a foot jack to get the wheel off the ground.

    You need 4 and they are not cheap.

    One thing that I did when I bought my Harbor Freight dollys was to take each caster apart and lube them up. It makes it so much easier to push the car around and has lasted 4 or 5 years now.

    If you don't need them immediately, keep an eye on HF. I wasn't looking for them, but I was in the store and they were on sale for $39 a pair. Couldn't pass it up.

    I bought mine at Northern for $40 or $50 a set. Fabulous purchase. I have a shop with an L shaped work area and they make ALL the difference.

    Initially moving the car is a little difficult until the wheels all point the right direction. After that it's a dream.
