Are they those rubber-tire-inflated caster wheels with the steel center, might be about 8-10" diameter? 
I've seen two of them put under the K-frame area holding up a Mopar unibody that didn't have a front clip or drivetrain.

basicly ya, they have steel rims with little wannabe hubs bolted on, they are supposed to be good for 500lbs each. i will put the rubber ones under the front end and the end with the solid 3000lbs 8" swivel caster under the back.

i only need the dolly to move 10 feet out my garage door onto my gravel driveway so i can sandblast, eitherway k member is out as of 15 minutes ago and she is getting set on the dolly in the morning so i guess i will find out if they hold up or not lol :icon_smile_wink:

nah, it's not you

it does look like a canoe in the pic, not sure why, but i measured all the gaps when it was on its wheels and about 700 other places and double checked everything before i tacked it down.

could just be that i shot the pic from close to the floor and the front lower fender is rolled in a bit. needless to say you got me worried now and its gonna get measured again lol

Sorry to worry you, but I guess it's better that someone said something.  I've always hated my eyes until now. :coolgleamA:

The car looks fine.  Optical illusion with the front valance hanging and the photo angle.
