After not finding any information for building a Wood Chassi Dolly for a Gen 3 Coupe I reached out to Factory Five and they said it was the same dimensions as a Dolly for the Mark IV Roadster just 5" longer.
Knowing that the Mark IV still uses the twin 4" main frame Tubes and the wood Dolly instructions call for 24" on center for the frame rails to set in and the new Gen 3 Coupe uses 1 1/2 " square Tubing it didn't seem to add up so another Email to Factory Five to confirm the dimensions for the 1 1/2" Frame rails. found they are 22" outside to outside. ( 20.5" on center) I added the extra 5" in overall length of the Dolly now 65" and made the adjustments for the 20.5" frame rail center and added a second 4x4 to each end for an 18"overall height at the bottom of the Chassi.
Fingers crossed when Stewart Trucking sets the Coupe down on my Dolly that it all lines up.
Thanks to all who have posted their Chassi Dolly pictures and information on how to build one on the forum. it made it easy to build.
