Plans for storage of the body removed from the frame

When the body is removed from the frame I will need a place to store it. My wife will not give up her side of the garage and I do not want to store it outside. So I found a posting on the 6-Pack forums here Body Off . I copied their design and drew it up in Google Sketchup. Below is what I ended up with.



The white boards are the 2x4's the blue are 7/16" OSB. I will cut the points off the triangles so they do not overlap when I build it.

The materials need are as follows:

Materials Quantity Source
2x4x96” wood 4 Lowes
2x4x105” wood 4 Lowes
4x8X7/16 OSB 1 Lowes
3" 1000lb casters 4 Northern Tool
1 1/2" wood screws 1-box Lowes
3" wood screws 1-box Lowes
3" Lag Bolts 16 Lowes

I will need to borrow my wifes side of the garage to build and store it until I am ready for the body lift.

I plan to lift the body using a 2-ton engine hoist. Here is an example from the 6-Pack forums here We have liftoff.
