Re: hardtop storage

["The Browns" <thebrown@domain.elided>]

I have my hardtop stored vertically on a aluminum dolly, I bought from a
Mercedes dealer for $150.  It would be very simple to build.  It measures
about 17D"x32L"x26"H.  It is made out of 11/4"x1/4" aluminum extrusions,
bent and bolted together, with four furniture wheels inserted on the base.
There are rubber pads where the top contacts the extrusions.  This allows me
to wheel the top around the garage.
