Dennis Tarkir asked for pictures and some specifications for my rolling bonnet stand, so here they are.

Bonnet storage is usually a pain, since the total volume of the bonnet amounts to over one-third of the E-type's total volume. So, when you're storing the bonnet, you're basically expecting to store a third of the car someplace out of the way. People have devised means of hanging bonnets from their ceilings and against walls. I was lucky for a while, since I dismantled the who thing an was able to stack panels more or less compactly.

After you have the thing back together, you've got to put it somewhere.

I put together a two-foot by six-foot rolling stand on two inch casters. I had the wood lying around, salvaged from an old chicken coop, but I got the casters at Lowes. I chose to get two swivel casters and two fixed ones, which turned out to be less than optimal. I'd have been better off had I bought four swivel casters. It wasn't really too much of a problem, but I did find myself dragging the fixed casters around a few times. Also, two-inch hard rubber wheels barely do the trick. I'd get three-inchers for easier handling.

The frame is made of two-by-fours. Note the doubling on each end to support the casters well. A middle support is advisable, since the bonnet will cause sagging, and the structure needs to be firm to prevent instability or leaning of the bonnet. The top is large-chip particle board with half-inch thickness.

When I stored the bonnet, the rear section went on the stand. I put some thin cardboard down on the plywood to cushion the edge slightly. When mounted on the stand, everything is rollable and stable. Appropriately, the bonnet looks like it's ready to launch.
