Description
This Post details a custom cart I made to store my Bronco Doors and/or Roof Panels. I made two, one for the Doors, the other for the Hard Top Roof panels (3). I’ve posted it here for those Nation members who prefer to build things themselves. This is a fairly easy DIY project using 1” PVC pipe, 1” PVC connectors, a couple of furniture moving carts, and some Pool Noodles. You will also need a pair of PVC cutters and PVC pipe glue of course. The total cost was around $280, or about $140 for each cart.

Instructions

- Drill hole through each of the 4 corner 3-way elbows
- Screw base 3-way elbows to Furniture Dolly

Special Instructions
- I tried using PVC pipe from local home supply store but they did not fit in the noodles like the ones linked below from Amazon.
- You could save time and frustration by cutting the Noodles pieces down the middle and sliding them over the PVC pieces versus sliding the PVC pipe through them.
