Okay... so I must have missed something and the search feature isn't returning anything helpful. Does a wooden dolly come included to get this kit into my garage or do I need to build one pre-emptively?
If it's the latter... can some one shoot me some pointers, or if some one in the bay wants to sell one that'll work, too! PMs or replies are appreciated!
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions, links, comments and even scrutiny. You guys are awesome!

You will have to make a dolly. 4 jackstands will do if it's not ready by delivery.
Sorry, no link to a sample. I'm sure someone will chime in with more info...

Stewart Transportation has a chassis dolly to get your kit into your garage from what I understand. The driver will help you move it from their chassis dolly to jack stands in your garage. I think you can build the whole thing on jack stands if you want. That is what we did in build school and that was my plan to start with. I know lots of builders make their own chassis dollies to be able to move the kit around the garage easily and sometimes to get it up higher for working at a more comfortable position.

Thanks Clover. My concern was just getting it INTO the garage. I'm golden after that!

Clover's right about Steward having a dolly to get the chassis into the garage, if that was your question.

Correct about Stewart getting it into the garage. But also just to point out the Gen 3 Coupe is different than the Roadster with the large 4-inch chassis tubes that are typically placed into a chassis dolly. The space frame on the new Coupe is dead flat across the entire bottom. Pretty much anything can hold it and move it around. Moving dollies, vehicle dollies, etc. Super easy to put it up on jack stands or a lift. Multiple lift points everywhere.

Awesome! I'll just building something. It should be on wheels pretty quickly. Thanks Paul!
AND YES: I spelled "dolly" wrong in my title... didn't realize and can't edit. TE HE HE HE...
