I could make you a painters cart that is adjustable. You could get under it pretty easy. Pm if interested.
I've designed them for breakdown for shipping.

You can build one for around $150. All you nee is two engine stands ( Harbour freight or ebay); cut them in half height wise and extend with 1/4" x 2 x 2 angle iron ( a spare bed frame rail will do), 10' of 2 x 2 x 1/4" square tubing, 10' of 1/2" od 1/4" pipe and two 1/2" thick plates to match the mouting face of the engine stands. It took me about half a day to fabricate the whole thing. I did have to beat on the ends of the round pipe for the front mounting to get through the mounting brackets so the pipe ended up being more of an oval for the front. Everything mounts in the bumber shock monts for the car and you can rotate the car all the way around.

Barry, Sorry for the slow response, been down with the flu all week. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow. Is there any particular connection you need amplification on?
