Want to make a table, console, desk how do you call it I dont know , to put the chasis on it so I can work other things ... in the Discovery show when Marc Evans is building a Westfield he is using something on wheels around 12" high , is that enough ... I dont wont it on ground and I dont want it to high so I can work on engine later on and on body paneling also ...

Trolley?

My trolly is about 12"-14" high, and on castors. Would have been better to work on at a higher hight, but I can easly lower the car from this hight to the ground...

Mine was about 700mm to bottom chassis rail, which seemed very comfortable to work on. It was made from 50 x 25 box section and had 125mm castors on each corner, perfect for a BEC, Four of us lifted it off when fully built with ease. might be more difficult with a car engine and box.

4 x axle stands did the trick for me

if you give it a metal surface you can tack tubes to it temporarily, and just earth the table. Should make working a bit easier. Id think low waist height would be ideal for me, i have a bad back so i hate bending over
